Dr. Chheda – The best temperature for the body to sleep is below 68 degrees. Studies were actually done on newborn babies where the temperature was at 68 degrees and there was a ceiling fan, and the babies only had a onesie on. That’s when the babies slept the best. If a newborn baby can do that, you can do that. The warmer it is, the more blood flows to the brain, the more the brain gets stimulated, the more nightmares your child has, and the more likely they’re going to wake up.

So regardless if your child is a newborn, a toddler, a teenager, they will sleep much, much better if you can keep the temperature below 68 degrees in their bedroom.

I’ve had so many parents who’ve had sleep issues come back and tell me, “As soon as I turned that thermostat down, they slept through the night.”

If you want a great sleep, turn that thermostat down.
