Sleep well, live well. Good quality sleep is the key!

Room temperature can significantly impact sleep quality, especially if it is too hot or cold. Having a quality air conditioner installed in your bedroom will ensure you sleep well in a comfortable environment with advanced temperature and humidity control.

The optimal air conditioning (AC) temperature for sleeping is 18.3°C (65°F), though this may vary slightly among individuals, who might find their ideal AC temperature lies between 15.6°C and 19.4°C (60°F and 67°F). A suitable AC temperature and other sleep hygiene habits make it easier to fall asleep and improve sleep quality. This is especially important during the summer months.

A cool room helps people get quality sleep

A cool room helps people get quality sleep, in part due to its effect on circadian rhythms, which control bodily processes, such as core body temperature and the sleep-wake cycle. Setting the AC to a suitable temperature can help regulate core body temperature, which decreases slightly a few hours before bedtime and during the night.

A lower body temperature lets the body know it is time to go to bed and fall asleep. A room that is too cold or warm can interfere with these signals, making it more difficult to fall asleep and sleep deeply.

Feeling too hot or too cold?

• A room that is too hot or too cold can make it difficult for people to sleep well, and it can cause common issues such as waking up in the night and difficulty falling asleep.
• Furthermore, a room that is too warm can cause discomfort, restlessness, and sweating, which may lead to dehydration. Research suggests sleeping in an overheated room may also increase wakefulness, making it hard to fall asleep, and decrease sleep efficiency, leading to fatigue. High temperatures may also reduce appetite and increase heart and respiratory rates.

Sleeping with the AC on helps prevent heat-related conditions, such as dehydration, heatstroke, and heat exhaustion.

Typical AC filters will not purify the air, though they can prevent dust and particles from entering the unit. There are specialised filters that can help purify the air by removing irritants such as pollen, microbes, and bacteria.

Using an AC system also allows a person to close the windows and sleep with an air purifier, which also promotes cleaner air. This is particularly helpful for people with asthma, allergies, or respiratory issues.
