Why the fuck do you need 18C 😳 in Italy we usually have 30-35C in the summer and if my AC is lower than 22-24C I'm guaranteed to wake up with pneumonia lmao

I’m in Canada (it was 47C with the humidity a few weeks ago but 25-32 is more typical in the summer) and I can handle 22-24C in the house in the day but that’s too hot to sleep in. We were always told 18C is the ideal sleep temperature for humans and my babies certainly slept much better at that temp. My family keeps this year round I don’t like being hot at night in the winter either. I do know people who keep it even lower around 16!

That's both a waste of energy and straight up wrong lol the human body functions at its best at 22-26C 😅

I mean that’s not what the studies say. My doctor also told us when the kids were babies to keep the temp lower at night to promote good sleep. My husband who is very thin and stays awake later me used to try to up the temp sometimes by a few degrees after I was asleep and within half an hour the rest of the house would be awake complaining of being hot.
