你的家應該保持在78華氏度以上

A federal program recommends people keep their homes between 78 and 85 degrees.

一項聯(lián)邦計劃建議人們把家里的溫度控制在78到85華氏度之間。

The guidelines come from Energy Star, a government-backed program to promote energy efficiency, and they've sparked a fiery debate on social media.

該指導方針來自“能源之星”(Energy Star)，這是一個由政府支持的提高能源效率的項目，在社交媒體上引發(fā)了激烈的辯論。

The program suggests different settings to automate at various times: 78 degrees when you wake up, 85 degrees during the day and 82 degrees when you're sleeping.

該項目建議在不同的時間自動設置不同的溫度:你醒來時的溫度是78華氏度，白天是85華氏度，睡覺時是82華氏度。

Energy Star says homeowners can save about $180 a year with a programmable thermostat.

“能源之星”說，擁有一個可編程恒溫器，房主每年可以節(jié)省大約180美元。

"Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer," the energy department explains on its site. "The smaller the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower your overall cooling bill will be."

美國能源部在其網站上解釋說:“在夏天，把你的恒溫器調到盡可能舒適的溫度。”“室內和室外的溫差越小，你的整體制冷費用就越低。

But while some studies have shown higher daytime temperatures help improve productivity for some groups, higher thermostat settings overnight could interfere with getting a night's sleep.

盡管一些研究表明，白天較高的溫度有助于提高某些群體的工作效率，但夜間恒溫器設置較高可能會影響晚上的睡眠。

A room somewhere around 65 degrees makes for the best sleep, according to the National Sleep Foundation.

據美國國家睡眠基金會(National sleep Foundation)稱，65華氏度左右的房間是最佳睡眠環(huán)境。

Your body temperature rises and falls slightly throughout the day, and you become drowsy as your body temperature comes down. If it's too hot, it may interfere with your body's natural temperature cycles and leave you with a restless night's sleep.

你的體溫在一天中會有輕微的上升和下降，當你的體溫下降時，你會變得昏昏欲睡。如果天氣太熱，它可能會干擾你身體的自然溫度循環(huán)，讓你徹夜難眠。

A 2012 study says heat exposure increases wakefulness and decreases sleep along. Cold exposure, however, does not affect sleep stages.

2012年的一項研究表明，較熱的環(huán)境會更加清醒，減少睡眠。然而，寒冷的環(huán)境并不影響睡眠階段。

Outside the home and in the office setting, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration recommends temperatures between 68 and 76 degrees and humidity control in the range of 20%-60%.

美國職業(yè)健康與安全管理局(Occupational Health and Safety Administration)建議，在室外和辦公室，溫度應在68至76華氏度之間，濕度控制在20%至60%之間。
