The new study, said that especially for those 65 and older, warmer temperatures are better between 68 and 77 degrees. Below or above that range, sleep quality declines.
Ambient night-time temperature for older adults to have a restful sleep should be between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, according to newly published research. Further, sleep efficiency in the older adults, aged 65 years or above, was found to drop by 5-10 per cent as the ambient night-time bedroom temperature rose to 30 degrees Celsius,
New research from Hebrew SeniorLife finds that sleep can be most efficient and restful for older adults when nighttime bedroom ambient temperature ranges between 68 to 77 °F.
The elderly often suffer from inadequate, restless, and disrupted sleep that influences many outcomes connected to their health and well-being. These temperature changes might help.
