When you think of a good hotel, you probably imagine soft pillows, clean bathrooms, and maybe breakfast in bed. But there’s one thing science says matters just as much room temperature.
The Science Behind Better Sleep
Studies in sleep science have confirmed that the temperature of your sleeping environment deeply affects the quality of your rest. The ideal room temperature for sleeping is between 18°C and 22°C. Outside of that range, your body struggles to cool down which can delay sleep and interrupt your rest throughout the night.
In hot regions like Nigeria, especially cities like Lagos, Abuja, or Port Harcourt, this is a real concern. A room without proper cooling can turn a great hotel stay into a long, restless night.
What Nigerian Hotels Should Do About It
If hotels want happier guests (and better reviews), climate control isn’t optional anymore. it’s essential. Here’s what hospitality experts and sleep researchers recommend:
• Install functional air conditioners in every room, not just the luxury suites.
• Allow guests to adjust the temperature to suit their comfort levels.
• For budget hotels, ceiling fans and good ventilation can still help regulate room climate naturally.
• Use smart power systems to save energy without compromising guest comfort.
Did You Know?
According to research by Harvard University, sleeping in a cooler room not only improves sleep but also boosts brain function the next day. That means your hotel guests (especially business travelers) may perform better after a cool night’s rest.
