Climate Change is Costing People Sleep Key Facts
- Sufficient sleep quality and duration are essential for people’s health and well-being, but hotter nighttime temperatures are making it harder for people to get the rest they need.
- Globally, the average person lost nearly 56 hours of sleep per year due to high ambient temperatures during the 2020-2025 period, according to a new analysis from Climate Central.
- Cities across the Middle East experienced the highest levels of climate change-attributed sleep loss between 2020 and 2025.
- Across nearly every city analyzed, the amount of temperature-related sleep loss linked to climate change has at least doubled since the early 1970s.
- Air conditioning can help protect people from hot nights, but access to cooling is often tied to income, and high temperatures can still reduce sleep when cooling is available.
