Is it more difficult to fall asleep in Summer, due to the higher temperatures?

Question

I love bed time when it is Winter.

In that time of the year, I have two blankets in bed, under which I curl up, and it feels so good.

I usually think of good things before I sleep, and it's not too long until my eyelids start to become heavier.

However, things are different in Summer.

I often feel that even the bedcover is too much, and it definitely takes me much longer to fall asleep (even if I watch television or think about good things).

Is there any connection between the time you get to fall asleep and the year's season?

Answer 1

Definitely.  In fact, it's recommended for insomniacs to have the room a bit cooler at bedtime (and anyone can be an insomniac in the heat!).  I have my bed under an open window w/the ceiling fan going, and it helps.  I'm like you, though, I love it when it's cold and I can sleep w/lots of blankets! :)

Answer 2

Yes, it's harder to get a 'deep sleep' in the Hotter Weather, for Sure...!!
