The Factor of Sleeping in Cold Rooms
by Brian Yalung on Wednesday, February 20th, 2008
Room temperature has a bearing for people to sleep well. While some may do the necessary adjustments towards getting a good night’s sleep, there are people who just allow their psychological factors play an integral role towards sleeping comfortably. Of course, we cannot rule out the fact that some people really have an irritating time as far as sleeping in desired temperatures is concerned but for the people who can manage this area of consideration, hot or cold room temperatures can be adjusted to if they really want.
If you take the majority, a lot of people would prefer to sleep in cold room temperatures. This allows their bodies to relax and worry less about perspiration or sweat. Some may call it a psychological sleep factor but for some people who live in various regions, temperature does indeed play a vital role for it all.

A physician I know used this principle while in medical school; he kept an air conditioner on in his room all year. He said it helped him sleep better so that he needed less sleep. You don’t need to go to such extremes, but do keep it cool.
