This winter, keep your home cosy and budget-friendly with Dr Punam Krishan’s “2C rule”! 🏠❄️ Aiming to enhance your sleep and potentially cut heating costs, Dr Punam, a respected GP and health expert, suggests maintaining your bedroom 2 degrees cooler than your living spaces. She recommends setting bedroom temperatures to around 18C for the perfect night’s sleep. 💤
Wondering why? A slightly cooler bedroom signals your body to wind down, helping with the natural temperature drop essential for restful sleep. Plus, this could prevent dehydration, leaving you feeling fresher and more energetic during the day. 🌙
It’s also vital for older family members to stay warm enough. Homes should generally be heated to at least 20C, as a minimum. As we age, we become less able to manage body temperature, meaning the elderly might not notice they’re cold until it’s too late, increasing risks of health issues like cardiovascular problems. 🧣❤️ Check in on your older loved ones, ensuring their homes are safe and comfortably warm.
So, dial down your bedroom thermostat just a touch for better sleep while keeping the rest of your house snug. A few degrees can make a big difference for your health and well-being. 🌡️✨ #WinterWellness #SleepBetter #HealthyHomes
