How Rising Temperatures Are Disrupting Your Sleep

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses a Nature study showing that rising temperatures are disrupting sleep. Researchers found that when temperatures increase by 18°F, people are 21% less likely to get enough sleep. This adds to growing concerns about climate change’s impact on human health, as extreme heat is already linked to conditions like asthma and heart disease. As temperatures continue to rise, sleep deprivation could become a widespread health issue.
