Sleep Quality Tied to Quiet Room, Not Heat
Philadelphia July 31 Dr Henry H Mohler medical director of Jefferson hospital says there is no physical reason why men cannot sleep as well in hot weather as in cold. Excessive heat may cause sleeplessness but a very cold room would have the same effect. Quietness is the key to proper sleep, as restlessness in hot weather comes from noises outside. Sleep quality depends on daytime activity and overall health rather than temperature.
