Human sleep is shortened due to global warming

Sheet Guard of the UK cited a large-scale study showing, global warming Due to climate change, the temperature is increasing at night, even faster than during the day. This is causing sleep difficulties, shortening the sleep of many people around the world.

The analysis found that the average global person lost 44 hours of sleep each year, equivalent to 11 nights of less than seven hours of sleep – the standard level for getting enough sleep.

Insomnia will increase further as the Earth gets warmer and will vary by age and sex. The prevalence of insomnia in women is about one-quarter higher than in men, doubles in those over 65 years of age, and triples in low- and middle-income countries.

The results are based on data from sleep monitoring bracelets used by 47,000 people in 68 countries; indicates that elevated temperatures have health effects such as increased risk of heart attack, suicide and mental health crisis, increased risk of accidents and injuries; reduced ability to work. Therefore, policymakers need to ensure that cities, towns and buildings are well adapted to global warming, to protect the physical and mental health of their residents.
