Part 6/11:
Participants in the episode share their experiences, often believing that cooler settings improve productivity and comfort. Yet, empirical data from experiments shows a counterintuitive result: rooms set at 25°C actually enhanced reaction times and maintained similar accuracy levels in cognitive tests compared to cooler settings. This aligns with physiological insights that the human body functions optimally at around 36.9°C, and colder environments force the body to work harder to generate heat, siphoning energy away from mental tasks.
