Most people think about sleep in terms of bedtime routines, screen time, or the mattress they sleep on. But there's another factor that often gets overlooked: temperature. 

Your sleep temperature isn't determined by your mattress alone. Everything from your sheets and blankets to your mattress and bedroom environment can influence how comfortable you feel throughout the night. Creating your ideal sleep setup means considering how all of these elements work together.
