>1300 ppm (common in poorly ventilated bedrooms): 1.8% reduced sleep efficiency, 7 min less deep sleep, higher post wake cortisol, morning grogginess more pronounced.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
There's clear data that once you pass 8 to 900 parts per million, it affects sleep quality. It increases the amount of times you wake up per hour. It decreases sleep efficiency and it decreases the way people feel when they wake up.
So like you really want to keep your bedroom levels of carbon dioxide below 900 parts per million while you're sleeping.
There's evidence that if the carbon dioxide in your room is over 900 parts per million at night while you're sleeping, this can affect sleep quality.
As CO₂ levels rise, the proportion of time spent in deep, restorative sleep drops.
Most studies report average overnight bedroom CO₂ levels between 750 and 1,300 ppm, but in rooms with closed windows and doors, CO₂ can reach 2,400–4,500 ppm, especially with two or more occupants.
Um, you want to make sure that you have proper ventilation in your room. One of the things that also happens in this is CO2. CO2 levels rise above 900 bars per million. This will significantly and dramatically affect everything from sleep onset, sleep quality, next day perceived fatigue next day arithmetic ability.

10 minutes of bright outdoor light within the first hour of waking anchors the circadian phase and improves sleep onset that night.
Morning sunlight exposure shifts the cortisol awakening response forward, improving daytime alertness.
Long-term morning sunlight reduces age-related macular degeneration risk.
Sleep regularity predicts all-cause mortality more strongly than sleep duration.
Tracking deep sleep on a wearable accurately reflects EEG-measured slow-wave sleep.
Caffeine has a half-life long enough that consumption after 2pm measurably degrades deep sleep in slow metabolizers.
