The study also revealed substantial differences in the optimal bedroom temperature between individual participants
The 'ideal' bedroom temperature for older people to get the best night's sleep has been calculated by scientists. Sleep can be most efficient and restful for pensioners when their night-time bedroom ambient temperature ranges between 68F and 77F , according to a new study.
The American research team noted an overall trend of a 5% to 10% drop in sleep efficiency as the night-time ambient temperature increases from 77F to 86F . The study also revealed "substantial" differences in the optimal bedroom temperature between individual participants. The study examines the association between bedroom night-time temperature and sleep quality in a sample of older people. Using wearable sleep monitors and environmental sensors, the research team monitored sleep duration, efficiency, and restlessness over an extended period within the participants' homes. The study collected nearly 11,000 person-nights of sleep and environmental data from 50 older adults.
He said that while several medical and behavioural interventions have been developed to improve sleep quality, the potential for environmental interventions has been largely overlooked.
