Climate and your bedroom in Angola
Angola has a hot, humid coast, a cooler highland and a dry season from about May to September. Luanda is warm year round, and the coastal fog can make the morning feel cooler than expected. Keep the room ventilated and use a fan.
A cool, dark and quiet room helps most people. A common guide is 15 to 19 degrees Celsius, although many homes cannot reach that, so use airflow, light bedding and shade. See how temperature affects sleep.
Daily life, work and sleep in Angola
Angola uses UTC plus 1 all year. Luanda has heavy traffic, and long commutes are common. Plan your sleep from the hour you leave home and use the ride home to wind down if you are a passenger.

Frequently asked questions
What time zone is Angola in?
Angola uses UTC+1. It does not use daylight saving time.
How do I beat jet lag?
Shift your schedule toward the new time zone for a few days before you leave if you can, choose flight sleep to match night at the destination, get daylight at the right time after landing and keep the first nights steady. Many travelers adjust about one hour of time difference per day.
How many hours of sleep does an adult really need?
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society recommend at least 7 hours a night for adults. The National Sleep Foundation suggests 7 to 9 hours for most adults and 7 to 8 hours for people 65 and older. Some people need more, and you can judge your own need by how you feel on days you are not sleep deprived.
How do I adjust to daylight saving time?
Move your schedule by 15 to 20 minutes over several days before the change and get morning light afterwards. Expect a few days of adjustment.
How many sleep cycles do I need per night?
Most adults do well with 5 cycles (about 7.5 hours) and some need 6 (about 9 hours). Four cycles, about 6 hours, is short for most people and is better used as an occasional fallback than a habit.
Is jet lag worse flying east or west?
Eastward travel is usually harder because you must fall asleep earlier than your body clock wants. Westward travel asks you to stay up later, which is generally easier.
Why am I still tired after 8 or 9 hours of sleep?
Common reasons include irregular sleep times, alcohol or late caffeine, a warm or noisy room, waking at the wrong point in a cycle, or sleep that is fragmented. Loud snoring with breathing pauses, or sleepiness that affects driving or work, should be checked by a doctor.
How do I move my bedtime earlier?
Shift it by 15 to 30 minutes every two or three days while keeping the wake time fixed, get bright light after waking and dim lights for an hour before bed.
