Facilitates sleep onset and depth.
Thermal regulation is a primary switch for sleep. A room that is too warm prevents the necessary drop in core body temperature (approx 2-3??F), leading to fragmented sleep and significantly reduced Deep Sleep duration.
Technologies like cooling mattresses or simply keeping the bedroom at 65-68??F are clinically proven to decrease sleep onset latency (how fast you fall asleep).
