Research suggests link between climate change and less sleep

According to a report referred to by Business AM, climate change may affect the sleep quality of people worldwide. Warmer nights could make it harder for people to fall asleep or cause them to wake up more often.

The report is allegedly based on data about temperature increases and sleep patterns. Whether and to what extent this actually leads to sleep deprivation is still a matter of discussion. There is no clear picture yet of regional differences or long-term effects.

Climate change has previously led to research into health effects, such as heat stress and air quality. Sleep could be a new factor that deserves attention, although it remains uncertain how significant the impact is.
