We often hear that the ideal temperature for a home is 19 degrees. However, the situation is a little different in the bedroom, especially in the winter months. Learn about the health benefits of a bedroom that is too hot or too cold.
What is the ideal bedroom temperature in winter? Because let’s face it, when the temperature outside drops, we can sometimes be a bit harsh on our radiators. But is this good for our comfort?
The room temperature is 17 degrees, allowing you to sleep comfortably.
According to Ademe (Ecological Change Management Agency), the temperature of all domestic water should be between 16 and 22 °C. Ideally, the temperature in the living room (i.e. the home room) is 19 °C and in the bathroom 22 °C. This control is made possible thanks to the many smart devices that come with our radiators today. But in the bedroom, the temperature in an adult’s bedroom can be much colder at 16 to 17 ° C when wrapped in a duvet. Colleagues at Maison & Works say that temperatures above 18 degrees are predicted to affect the body’s thermoregulatory cycles, which can “cause nighttime awakenings, feelings of tiredness and lightness, and restlessness during sleep.” The air is too dry, which makes us uncomfortable. Not to mention the strain a generator running all night can put on your bill.
Pay attention to the temperature
But this little balance should not fall below 16 ° C. Because extreme cold weather in the winter months can cause health problems. For example, humidity (and mold) can increase in extremely cold air. When the temperature drops below 16 degrees, your body needs extra energy to move. Finally, you also risk becoming disabled and catching the flu… more often!
Therefore, you should set the temperature of your bedroom between 16-18 degrees for a quality sleep. Also, do not forget to ventilate the room every day.
