This is the ideal sleep temperature for older adults, new study finds Finding the ideal temperature to help you fall asleep and stay asleep is essential. But a new study suggests that our traditional thinking about the perfect bedroom temperatures may be a bit off — and far too chilly.   For most people, keeping your bedroom cool — anywhere from 60 to 67 degrees — will likely result in higher sleep efficiency, or less time spent tossing and turning.   However, a new study indicates that older adults in particular may benefit from slightly warmer temperatures at night, between 68 and 77 degrees. It becomes harder to keep your body warmer as you get older, so keeping the bedroom at a slightly higher temperature may help people over 50 sleep more soundly, the study suggests.   But being too hot while sleeping is also linked to less time in the restorative sleep stage. So it's important to get it just right.   This is the best temperature for restorative sleep. READ THE ARTICLE > Wellness News Wellness News Do blue light glasses actually protect your eyes?
