Bedroom Thermal Gradient

Meaning

Bedroom thermal gradient refers to the clinically optimized difference in temperature between the ambient environment and the individual’s core body temperature necessary for initiating and maintaining restorative sleep. Achieving a slightly cooler ambient temperature facilitates the necessary nocturnal drop in core body temperature, a critical physiological prerequisite for healthy sleep onset. This subtle thermal difference is a modifiable environmental factor directly influencing sleep quality and duration.
