Good sleep is really important to our health. But global heating is leading to increases in night-time temperatures that are happening faster than they are during the day. This makes it harder for us to get quality sleep. As global temperature increases, the average global citizen is already losing 44 hours of sleep every year, a recent study revealed.
The study used sleep and outdoor weather data collected from 2017 to 2022. It found that higher temperatures reduced sleep by putting off its onset. People's bodies need to cool every night as they fall asleep, but this is harder to do when it is warmer.
"Some groups, however, will be affected much more than others. " said Kelton Minor, a researcher from the University of Copenhagen. The sleep loss per degree of warming is about a quarter higher for women than men, twice as high for those over 65 years old, and three times higher for those in less wealthy nations.
"Women usually have higher levels of fat than men, which may make the cooling time longer. Older people are known to sleep less at night and have poorer body temperature regulation(调节). People in poorer nations could lose more sleep, as it's harder for them to get cooling machines. " he explained.
The studies have also shown that rising temperatures hurt health, including increasing the possibilities of heart diseases, mental health problems, accidents and injuries. They have also been found to reduce one' s ability to work and study. Poor sleep has also been shown to have these effects. However, disturbed sleep may be a key reason why researchers are seeing these heat related health problems.
Worryingly, there were no signs of people being able to adapt to hotter nights. The growing numbers of people in many countries around the world are simply not getting enough sleep.

Proms(毕业舞会) are a big part of high school for students in the UK. A school prom is a party to celebrate an important date at school, such as the end of secondary school or completing school exams. |
Prom parties | Proms are usually held in June, around the end of exam time. The idea is to have fun with your school friends. Some schools even hold the party in a five-star hotel. Others have a more basic dinner in the school itself. A prom organizer provides everything for the special event, such as balloons, food and music. |
Clothes and beauty | Young people like to dress up for their prom. On prom night, girls change their school uniform for an evening dress and high heels. Boys usually dress up in a suit with a tic and smart shoes. |
Cars | Arriving at your prom in a good car is very popular! The party can start on the way to the dinner or dance. Part of the fun for some prom-goers is to drive around town in their best clothes and make sure that everyone sees them. |
An American tradition | Not long ago, most British schools didn't have school proms. They had a simple school dance at the end of term. Now, more than 85% of schools in Britain have a prom. Many parents see the prom as an import from the US. They say that American TV programs and films such as High School Musical have had a big influence on their kids. |
