How Can Furnace Service Help You Sleep Better?

September 22, 2017

Sleep is very important to our health. Many factors can impact the amount and quality of sleep you acquire, but there’s one in particular that Contra Costa Heating & AC can help with. The temperature of the space where you sleep has a lot to do with how fast you manage to fall asleep and the quality of your rest. Shared by the National Sleep Foundation, “many sleep experts say that a cool room, somewhere around 65 degrees, makes for the best sleep, and research backs this notion.” If you’re behind on furnace service, your sleep may be suffering, especially when the the Bay Area weather isn’t ideal or if your furnace is operating too much. That’s why we’re here for you.

With a tuned-up furnace, you’ll help be sure that your indoor space is at the temperature you want it to be, and you’ll rest easy. All you have to do is call to Contra Costa Heating & AC and we’ll get your furnace service taken care of. We can also help you amplify your sleeping situation by installing a smart thermostat. A smart thermostat can be programmed and can even study your routine, so the temperature will be exactly where you need it, when you want it there. Most smart thermostats will even tell you when your furnace should be serviced, which helps prevent surprising breakdowns.

Other Ways to Improve Your Sleep

In addition to keeping your furnace maintained and getting a thermostat that works for your needs, here are several other tips to help you get better sleep:

  • Go to bed and wake up at the same time consistently to keep your body in a routine.
  • Try to do something that decreases stress prior to going to bed. Read a book, take a bath, listen to soothing music. Do what works for you.
  • Exercise frequently.
  • Keep your bedroom dark and quiet. Avoid using electronics, doing work, or anything else distracting or potentially stressful in your bedroom.
