Overheating in Bed
Overheating in bed can cause discomfort and disrupt your sleep by causing you to wake up in the night.
We tend to sleep better when our body is cool. The ideal temperature for a good night’s sleep is believed to be around 16–18ºC, but this will vary between individuals.
Our top tips for keeping cool and sleeping well:
• Try placing a bowl of ice in your bedroom with a fan running next to it to circulate cool air throughout your bedroom.
• Choose a mattress and bedding made from natural materials as these help regulate body temperature.
• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting nightwear made of a natural fabric that can breathe, such as cotton, or nothing at all.
