Hot nights are stealing people’s sleep, researchers say

Climate change is causing people to lose precious sleep hours each year due to rising night-time temperatures. Researchers have found that the average person now misses out on over 50 hours of sleep annually because of these warmer nights. This isn't just a minor inconvenience; sleep deprivation can lead to serious health issues like weakened immune function, increased stress, and even long-term conditions like heart disease and diabetes. It's a stark reminder of the broader impacts of climate change on our daily lives and overall well-being.
