How Can Furnace Service Help You Sleep Better?

September 22, 2017

Sleep is extremely important to your health. A variety of factors can impact the amount and quality of sleep you obtain, but there’s one in particular that Van Haaften Plumbing & Heating can assist you with. The temperature of the space where you sleep has a lot to do with how fast you can fall asleep and the quality of your slumber. 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 needing furnace service, your sleep might be suffering, especially when the Pella weather isn’t ideal or if your furnace is operating too often. That’s why our professionals are here for you.

With a tuned-up furnace, you’ll help ensure that your home is at the temperature you want it to be, and you’ll relax easier. All you have to do is call to Van Haaften Plumbing & Heating and we’ll get your furnace service taken care of. We can also help you optimize your sleeping atmosphere by installing a smart thermostat. A smart thermostat can be programmed and can even learn your routine, so the temperature will be precisely where you need it, when you want it there. Most smart thermostats will even warn you when your furnace should be serviced, which helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Other Ways to Improve Your Sleep

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

  • Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day to keep your body in a routine.
  • Try to do something that reduces stress before you go 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 likely stressful in your bedroom.
