People around the world could be getting less sleep at night because of rising temperatures caused by global warming, according to a recent study. A team of scientists from universities in Denmark and Germany studied data from sleep-tracking devices worn on the wrist, with more than 47,000 people across 68 countries taking part.

Researchers found that sleep loss begins to increase steeply when temperatures rise above 10 degrees Celsius at night, with those sleeping in conditions hotter than 30 C losing an average of over 11.5 minutes per night compared to people sleeping at between 5-10 C.
(1)Are you a morning person or a night owl? When do you like to wake up?
