Sweating is simply the body’s way of cooling you down. As moisture evaporates off your skin, it helps lower your body temperature. That doesn’t work out as planned, though, when you’re burrowed under layers of heavy blankets. Sleeping cool can help you sleep better.
If you have ever woken up from night sweats, you know it isn’t a pleasant experience. Additionally, it doesn’t always directly correlate with the temperature of the room where you’re sleeping.
Staying cool at night involves more than some number on the thermostat. We all know that even in the dead of winter you can wake up with night sweats, feeling like you were somehow transported to a tropical rain forest. Sometimes the solution is as simple as changing what clothing you wear to bed, or even the fabric your sheets and blankets are made of.
If you’re considering a change, it is always wise to wear pajamas made from breathable fabric like cotton, soft flannel or silk. Be mindful of how many layers of blankets you are bundling on, too. While the initial slip under the covers might feel nice and cozy, your body temperature will eventually drop and require more warmth.
Finding the right mattress and pillows can make a world of difference at night as well. If your body temperature runs on the warm side, you will likely benefit from mattresses and pillows made from a cooling fabric that will help regulate that excess body heat. Instead of constantly flipping your pillow or rolling over to find a cool spot, cooling materials can draw the heat away from your body to keep you at the ideal temp.
Instead of making your body work overtime while you sleep, try one of these solutions to stay cool overnight and wake up feeling fresh and ready for the day.
Stay cool at night and wake up ready to go in the morning.
