We improve the sphaleron decoupling condition in the real singlet-extended standard model (SM). The sphaleron energy is obtained using the finite-temperature one-loop effective potential with daisy resummation. For moderate values of the model parameters, the sphaleron decoupling condition is found to be vC/TC>(1.1\ensuremath-1.2), where TC denotes a critical temperature and vC is the corresponding vacuum expectation value of the doublet Higgs field at TC. We also investigate the deviation of the triple Higgs boson coupling from its standard model value in the region where the improved sphaleron decoupling condition is satisfied. As a result of the improvement, the deviation of the triple Higgs boson coupling gets more enhanced. In a typical case, if the Higgs couplings to the gauge bosons/fermions deviate from the SM values by about 3 (10)%, the deviation of the triple Higgs boson coupling can be as large as about 16 (50)%, which is about 4 (8)% larger than that based on the conventional criterion vC/TC>1.
