The ideal humidity level for sleep is between forty and sixty percent. This range helps your body regulate temperature and keeps your bedroom comfortable.
Why humidity affects sleep
- High humidity makes the air feel heavy and warm.
- Low humidity dries your nose, throat and skin.
- Dust mites thrive in humid environments.
How to maintain ideal bedroom humidity
- Ventilate for a few minutes each evening.
- Use a dehumidifier after waking up.
- Do not dry clothes in the bedroom.
- Keep windows closed while sleeping if outside air is very damp.
Most people sleep better when humidity is controlled and the bedroom air feels fresh rather than heavy.
