Hot sleeper?

Discover bedtime's most chilled out fabric and say goodbye to overheating

How to manage overheating at night

Overheating at night is something many sleepers experience. Women can especially suffer during the onset of perimenopause or menopause, which is often accompanied by night sweats. The rise in body temperature can often cause waking and discomfort, disrupting the sleep cycle and leading to irritability or grogginess the following day. Sound familiar? Read on to discover why we overheat and ways you can make bedtime more comfortable.

Why do we overheat at night?

Our bodies are set to sleep best at a temperature of 18.5 degrees; being at this slightly cooler temperature triggers the release of melatonin. The sleepy hormone signals to our brains that it’s time to rest and get ready for bed. During summertime, our homes can feel a lot warmer, making it hard to cool down to the optimum temperature for a good night’s sleep. Our bedding can also play a part in overheating; many fabrics trap heat leading to sweating and discomfort.

Can menopause be the reason?

Menopause is also a frequent cause of overheating for women; the end of the menstrual cycle that occurs between 40-55 can lead to sweaty nights and make it hard to drift off, or stay asleep for the recommended 7-9 hours. Overheating can also be caused by underlying medical conditions – it is always best to consult a doctor if it is a persistent problem that does not go away with simple lifestyle changes.

How can you takethe heat out of bedtime?

Whatever the cause of your overheating, there is a magic fabric that could help. Our signature bamboo has been a game changer for many sleepers experiencing overheating at night. Bamboo is naturally thermoregulating, keeping you at just the right temperature throughout the hottest summers. It is also moisture-wicking, absorbing excess heat so you don’t get those dreaded night sweats. Along with being naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, it is the kindest fabric for your skin and comfortable bedtimes.

Here are some of our award-winning products that can cool down hot nights and keep your sleep and mornings fresh.
