This is the best room temperature for sleep, according to experts – the exact temperature to set your thermostat

A white bedroom with panelled walls and white bedding.

You probably don’t need me to explain that room temperature can play a big part in how easily we fall asleep. If our bedroom is too hot, then most of us will have a restless night’s sleep, tossing and turning in an attempt to get cool. If our bedroom is too cold, then shivering can keep us awake.

If you share a bed with a partner, then arguments over the thermostat might also be a common theme. After all, some of us sleep hotter than others, and in the quest for how to sleep better, differences in opinion over the bedroom temperature can cause tempers to fray.
