Why Your Warm Bedroom Is Sabotaging Your Metabolism (Dr. Jenkinson Research)

Dropped my bedroom temperature to 18°C last winter. First week felt cold. Week three, I was sleeping deeper than I had in years.

Dr. Andrew Jenkinson reviewed 2014 research: sleeping at 19°C versus 24°C for one month increased brown fat and improved insulin sensitivity. Same people. Same diet. Just a cooler bedroom.

*Why it matters:*

Brown fat burns energy to generate heat — unlike white fat (storage). Most adults have small amounts in neck, shoulders, upper back. At 24°C, brown fat stays dormant. At 19°C, it activates nightly to maintain core temperature.

The study tracked participants for one month at each temperature. At 19°C, brown fat measurably increased on scans. Insulin sensitivity improved. Glucose clearance got better. At warmer temps (27°C), brown fat decreased again.

This isn't about freezing — 19°C is cool but manageable with proper bedding. It's about giving your metabolism a gentle, sustained stimulus every night while you sleep.
