The Cheapest Way to Keep Warm in Bed
To get a good night’s sleep, you need a warm bedroom with a temperature somewhere between 16°C and 18°C. For older people and some people with health conditions, a slightly warmer environment between 20°C and 25°C is more beneficial.
But leaving the heating on all night can be expensive. Typically, gas central heating costs between 50p and £1.50 per hour, depending on the size of your home and boiler, how well your home is insulated and whether you make good use of your thermostatic controls. Even if you’re using your heating efficiently, leaving it on all night could cost you £4 to £6.
