The tossing and turning, in sweaty pajamas, during the usually cool nighttime hours is no fun, but unfortunately, we are in for more toasty nights.

of the University of Copenhagen tracked the sleep of 47,000 people in 68 countries from 2015 to 2017.

The warmest areas of the world are more impacted because the study discovered that if the low temperature is 77 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer, the probability of getting fewer than seven hours of sleep a night increases. That is seven more nights of short sleep than the average population or 23 hours of lost sleep, especially if greenhouse gas levels are not stabilized .

“Having a cool room temperature during sleep is one of the most important aspects of getting a good night’s rest,” Dr. Janette Nesheiwat said.“It’s really important to try to sleep in an environment where the temperature’s anywhere between 60 and 70 degrees. It’s usually about 65 degrees on average, give or take a few degrees,” Nesheiwat told FOX Weather.

Climate change will harm sleep: StudyBy the end of this century, warmer temperatures will cost humans an average of 50 to 58 hours of sleep per person per year, according to a new study in the journal One Earth. That works out to a little less than 10 minutes per night. Hopefully we have better air conditioning by the end of the century, lol. Good times. I remember when Al Gore said NYC and Miami would be underwater by the year 2000. How’d that work out? Wonder where the funding came from for that little gem of a report. An hour a week less sleep? we will trash the economy and fill the pockets of the rich for a lousy hour of sleep a week? Where do I apply for funding on these sorts of studies.

Climate change is eroding a precious resource: sleepEven when it’s just a little warmer than usual, higher night temperatures mess with our slumber. A new worldwide study adds up these losses. Can definitely relate. I absolutely cannot sleep when the overnight temps are in the 60’s during the summer. I overheat to the point that even in single digit temps I have to have my window cracked slightly open. Stop with the climate change propaganda Not sure a half a degree is going to make a person sleep better or worse
