That seems a bit warm for me, I’m wondering whether the study was done using people in a hot region and therefore acclimatised to higher temperatures. I haven’t found the full text of the article to confirm my guess but it does seem likely since it’s talking about finding decreases in sleep quality when bedroom temperatures rise from 25° to 30°.
