How Home Heat Affects Sleep
Whether your home heat is too high or too low, it can affect the quality of your sleep—something that directly correlates with your productivity levels. You’ll notice problems including:
1. Difficulty falling asleep
If you feel too warm or cold, you might find yourself restless and struggling to fall asleep once you get into bed.
2. Difficulty staying asleep
You might fall asleep fine but wake up in the middle of the night due to discomfort.
3. Lower sleep quality
Extreme temperatures can prevent you from achieving deeper sleep, which is what makes you feel the most rested.
How Home Heat Affects Productivity
If you work at home or spend much of your time there during the day, you’ll notice your productivity decrease if your furnace isn’t functioning up to par. Some problems you may experience include:
1. Low energy
A home that’s too cool or too hot will leave you feeling tired, sluggish, and unmotivated.
2. Concentration problems
If you aren’t comfortable, chances are your mind will become more focused on that rather than the other tasks you need to complete.
3. Increased anxiety and irritability
Feeling like you can’t take care of your responsibilities for the day can lead you to feel more anxious and irritable than normal.
How to Improve Your Home Heat and Comfort
Optimizing your home comfort for better sleep and productivity is easy with a few small adjustments. Here’s what ComfortAire’s Bryant® pros recommend:
1. Regular furnace maintenance
Scheduling annual furnace maintenance helps ensure your system is always running efficiently and provides you with ideal comfort levels.
2. Air filter replacement
Regularly changing your furnace air filter ensures that warm air can circulate through your house and regulate your comfort levels.
3. Smart thermostat installation
Installing and programming a smart thermostat provides you with better awareness and control of your home’s temperature. It also enables you to easily adjust your settings from anywhere, whether at home or on the go.
4. Indoor air quality solutions
Running ceiling fans can help distribute warm or cool air as needed, as well as opening windows, or installing air purification systems.
