The Impact of HVAC Systems on Sleep Quality: Tips for a Restful Night’s Sleep

By Aztil –

Getting a good night’s rest is essential for overall health and well-being; this is where HVAC and sleep quality can significantly impact how well you recharge. Temperature, humidity, air quality, and noise levels all influence how well you get rest each night, and optimizing your HVAC settings can lead to better respite, increased energy levels, and a more comfortable home. Here’s how your climate control system affects restfulness and some simple tips to set the scene for an ideal bedtime environment.

The Ideal Bedtime Temperature

Heat works against your body when supporting a good night’s rest, and your circadian rhythm naturally lowers your core body temperature. In fact, your circadian rhythm, more commonly known as your body clock, lowers body temperature by 2 degrees as you doze. This may seem insignificant, but as you cool down, your brain releases melatonin – the key hormone in promoting sleep.

Adjusting Your Indoor Temperature for Sleep

Paying attention to the thermostat is essential as you get ready to crawl into bed. So, what is the best temperature for sound sleep? According to The National Sleep Foundation, you should keep temperatures between 60-67°F. When the temperature is too warm, your body must work harder to cool down, leading to restlessness. Consider using a programmable or smart thermostat to automatically lower the temperature shortly before going to bed and adjust it in the morning for comfort. Of course, there are still those who prefer warmer temperatures while snoozing. In this case, use lightweight bedding instead of keeping the thermostat at a higher temperature.

Controlling Humidity for Better Sleep

It’s not only the temperature of the environment that affects slumber. Humidity also plays a significant role in sleep comfort. In a room that is too humid, you may experience night sweats and discomfort, and you may also find that you have throat irritation and dry skin if the air is too warm. It’s critical to pay attention to humidity levels to keep yourself comfortable and ensure optimal rest.

Ideal Humidity Levels for Bedtime:

A 30-50% relative humidity level is recommended for optimal comfort.

HVAC Tip:

In humid climates like Florida, using a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture in the air and prevent overheating is a good idea. By contrast, a humidifier will add moisture to dry air, promoting better breathing and skin hydration. You’ll be much more comfortable when it comes time to drift off to sleep.

Air Quality and Sleep Health

Poor air quality negatively affects how well you sleep. High pollution and carbon dioxide levels can reduce efficiency and increase the risk of sleep apnea, disrupting sleep cycles and causing daytime drowsiness.

How to Improve Air Quality for Better Slumber:

There are essential steps to take to improve air quality and promote better sleep. Here’s how:

  • Replace HVAC filters every 1-3 months to trap allergens and dust.
  • Install an air purification system to remove pollutants.
  • Keep your ducts clean to prevent allergens from circulating throughout your home.

HVAC Tip:

  • Use high-efficiency filters (MERV 8-13) to capture fine particles that impact air quality.
  • Vacuum regularly and wash the bedding often to keep bedrooms dust and allergen-free.

Lower Climate Control System Noise for Uninterrupted Rest

Nothing disrupts HVAC and sleep quality like a noisy system. To reduce the sound, insulate the ductwork with sound-dampening materials, cover vents with soundproof covers, and address any loose components in the system.

HVAC Tip:

  • Excessive noise may indicate that the system needs repairs.
  • Modern, energy-efficient systems are quieter, so consider upgrading.
  • White noise machines can help mask minor operational sounds.

Innovative HVAC Technology for Better Sleep

Smart home technology enhances HVAC and sleep quality. It enables precise control of your bedroom temperature with a programmable thermostat, creating an ideal environment for rest.

How Smart HVAC Technology Helps:

  • Schedule cooling before bedtime and maintain that temperature throughout the night, using motion sensors to adjust airflow based on activity levels.
  • You can even use your phone or voice assistant to control the temperature.

HVAC Tip:

  • Consider investing in a smart thermostat to create the perfect customized sleep setting that adjusts temperatures overnight.

Optimize Your HVAC and Sleep Quality

HVAC and sleep quality are closely linked, as your heating and cooling system plays a crucial role in ensuring a restful night. Maintaining the right temperature, humidity, air quality, and noise levels creates the perfect bedtime environment. You’ll enjoy a more profound, uninterrupted rest and feel fabulous.

Our air conditioner broke down. We called Atzil and they sent Antonio Moreno over within an hour. He assessed the problem to be a burned out motor and ordered the new one. It was still under warranty. He said it would be in within two days and installed so hopefully that’ll be so and
I will update this when that happens

The AC maintenance service was excellent. Niko Garza was professional, helpful, kind, and was instrumental in arranging for the next Senior Technician to solve the AC problem that I am having. That service will be sometime today. He also recommended the dryer vent cleaning and the in-line AC cleaning, of which I scheduled for Monday and paid today. My husband has been very ill for the past 4 years and in the hospital right now. Aztil has arranged the services, after Niko explained the situation, so that they will be completed before he comes home because a patient on oxygen and a feeding tube cannot be without power to the whole house, even a short shut down would endanger him. Thank you Niko!

Technician Rick Cochran did an excellent job replacing the AC breaker and ensuring that everything was in correct working condition. I really appreciated his kindness and professional demeanor. Thank you Rick!

Today Technician Alex Molina completed the services (dryer lint trap cleaning and inline air handler cleaning). Once again, I was fortunate to have a professional, gracious, and thoughtful person come to my house to perform the services. Thank you so much Alex!
Response from the owner:Hi Admonis, thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that Niko did an excellent job and that you were pleased with the outcome. Thank you for being a valued customer.

I’ve been using Aztil for quite some time. This time, my outdated thermostat blew. After a tough few days without AC, Rick Cochran came to the rescue. He’s a lovely man and did a superb job installing the new thermostat and now I’m on my way to a comfortable environment. He also didn’t mind my dog being his helper.
Thanks so much, Rick.
