A major part of a healthy life relies on getting a good night’s sleep. That’s why it’s important to keep your sleeping environment comfortably cool at night. A suitable air conditioning temperature can make it easier to fall asleep and improve sleep quality, which is especially important for people living in warm climates such as in Singapore. Are you tired of waking up in the heat and stickiness on your skin due to humidity? Ideal Aircon Engineering are experienced in aircon services, and we understand how critical sleep is for everyday life. Here are a few tips to effectively use your air conditioning to help you get the best quality sleep.

Set your aircon to the most optimal temperature of 25 degrees

Experts recommend 25 degrees as being the best temperature for sleeping without causing you to feel either too warm or too cold, and suggest that air conditioners are set to this temperature as well. On top of that, air conditioners can consume a lot of electricity. Setting the air conditioner temperature to 25 degrees can save you at least 20% in electrical bills. Energy experts have also shown that you can reduce up to 30% in electrical bills if you increase the AC temperature by as little as 2 degrees. This means lowering the aircon temperature to less than 25 degrees might not only affect your sleep, but also your pocket.

Service your air con regularly

There’s no getting away from heat and humidity in Singapore, which makes aircon cleaning services all the more important. Regular aircon cleaning ensures clean air filters, meaning that the air you breathe is being properly filtered of dust, pollen and pollutants. Clean air is not only vital for your family’s health, but also helps you to relax and get better quality sleep. This also prevents trash particles from damaging your air conditioning unit ensuring a longer life span of your air conditioner.

Set it to sleep mode

Sleep mode is a function on the air conditioner that raises the temperature gradually throughout the night. Your body cools down when you sleep, which is why you typically get colder at night. With our bodies being capable of handling less cool temperatures when we are sleeping, the air conditioning unit can then regulate the ambient temperature much better without you noticing. Having an air conditioner that is intelligent enough to adapt this way can also help with saving money.

Never direct the air jet towards you

Apart from disrupted sleep with the temperature being too cold, the act of blowing cool air directly at you is thought to increase the chance of a virus spreading, as cool air can cause dehydration to occur. Freezing and extremely dry air evaporates moisture in your nose and reduces the blood flow. These make your body more susceptible to illness when the air conditioning is on.
