Temperature regulation is a key factor in achieving a deep sleep state. Researchers suggest an optimal ambient sleeping temperature of 67 degrees. This triggers thermogenesis to maintain core body temperature by burning brown fat. Multiple elements combine to maintain a comfortable temperature during sleep: air temperature, bedding materials and personal garments. The right combination can vastly improve the quality of your night and the way you feel the next morning. If you’re waking up hot in the middle of the night, we have solutions for you.
