According to the latest Lancet study, high nighttime temperatures resulted in a 5% increase in global sleep loss over the past five years compared to 1986-2005.
Sleep disruption is now compounded by heat-related effects on health; notably, heat-related deaths among individuals aged 65 and older reached record levels aligned with rising nighttime temperatures.
Jeremy Farrar from the WHO emphasizes the pervasive nature of climate's impact, highlighting that it's not merely about extreme weather but an ongoing health challenge.
With rising nighttime temperatures outpacing daytime rises, especially in vulnerable climates, effective building designs could mitigate indoor overheating and improve sleep quality.
