Heat,2024 Olympics

Team USA will be providing its athletes with their own air conditioners at the Paris Summer Games—as science suggests that poor sleep can hurt athletic performance.

Things seem to be heating up in advance of the 2024 Olympics in July. Organizers of the Paris Games have decided against installing air conditioning in the Olympic Village as a way to make the event more environmentally friendly, according to the Associated Press, but not everyone is on board—including the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee . In fact, the USOPC is planning to provide Team USA with AC units in France, against organizers’ wishes.

Temperature can be “one of the most important factors that can affect human sleep,” as a 2012 review published in Journal of Physiological Anthropology concluded—meaning, out of all the things that can make or break a night’s rest, your room’s climate is right up there. Anything between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit is considered optimal. When we start to inch above that, that’s when things can go south.
