Thermal environment in bedrooms is still a largely neglected topic in thermal comfort research, although a thermal comfortable environment is important for sleep maintenance. Studies confirm that human body is sensitive to air temperature during sleep; even moderate heat or cold exposure decrease sleep quality significantly. In the present paper we reviewed air temperatures measured in bedroom and the effects of heat and cold exposure on sleep quality, and then proposed 5 aspects of approaches or technologies that could improve sleeping thermal environment at a low energy consumption. We concluded that there are two important research topics in sleeping thermal environment. One is to develop sleeping mode control strategy for air conditioner used in bedroom to get slight increase or to avoid decrease in room air temperature when approaching morning. The other is to control bed micro-environment energy efficiently by using of local heating, cooling and/or ventilation system. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
