America's preferred AC temperature isn't the recommended 78 degrees
Here's what's trending across India right now:
Sleep wellness brand Bear Mattress, in a recent sleep study rolled out July 8, found that the country's "ideal sleep temperature" is 67 degrees.
Adding to this, "It's the temperature most Americans say helps them fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer," Bear Mattress shared in an Aug. 4 news rollout .
Meanwhile, While 67 degrees, or "6-7" , is the national average, Massachusetts sleeps the coldest at 63.2 degrees; meanwhile, Hawaii is the warmest sleeping state at 69.5 degrees.
Notably, "Regional climate plays a major role in how Americans define 'comfortable'," the study shared.
As per the latest buzz, More than 2,000 adults across all 50 states participated in the research, Bear Mattress shared, as it mapped "sleep comfort, temperature preferences, and bedtime behaviors" to understand "how geography and generation shape the way Americans wind down."
In further updates, A 2021 Consumer Reports national survey found that the average temperature Americans set their thermostats to is about 71 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and night. The temperature varies slightly by region, with Americans living in the South reporting that they set their thermostats to 72 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, while those living in the Northeast set theirs to 70 degrees, the survey found.
On top of that, Not a single respondent with central air conditioning indicated that they would set the temperature above 76 degrees Fahrenheit during summer.
Though the ideal temperature may vary depending on where one lives, 78 degrees Fahrenheit is the recommended average, according to several energy companies, including Chicago's Constellation , New York and Massachusetts' National Grid and Florida's Carrier .
