Beat the Heat: Tips to Stop Being a Hot Sleeper

Posted by Jocelynn D'Emilio on Jul 26th 2024

We all know the struggle of tossing and turning on a hot night, trying to find that perfect cool spot on the bed. Being a hot sleeper can significantly disrupt your rest, leaving you groggy and irritable the next day. At Kawaii Blankets, we understand the importance of a good night's sleep, and we're here to help you stay cool and comfortable all night long. Here are some tips to transform your sleeping experience and say goodbye to those sweaty nights.

1. Choose Breathable Bedding

The type of bedding you use can make a world of difference. Opt for lightweight, breathable materials like cotton, bamboo, or linen. These natural fibers allow air to circulate, keeping you cooler. Kawaii Blankets take it a step further with our weighted blankets featuring a unique open knit design. This innovative design ensures maximum airflow, providing cool, breathable comfort all summer long.

2. Invest in Cooling Technology

Technology has come a long way in helping us sleep better. Look for mattresses, pillows, and mattress toppers designed with cooling technology. These products often feature gel-infused foam or phase-change materials that regulate temperature and wick away heat, ensuring you stay cool throughout the night.

3. Regulate Your Room Temperature

Keeping your bedroom at an optimal temperature is crucial for a comfortable sleep. Aim for a room temperature between 60-67°F (15-19°C). Use a fan or air conditioner to maintain this range. Additionally, consider using a dehumidifier if you live in a humid area, as excess moisture can make the heat feel even more oppressive.

4. Stay Hydrated

Hydration plays a key role in regulating your body temperature. Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body cool. Avoid alcohol and caffeine close to bedtime, as they can increase your body temperature and disrupt your sleep.

5. Wear Light, Breathable Sleepwear

What you wear to bed can also impact how hot you feel. Choose lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics like cotton or bamboo for your pajamas. Avoid heavy, synthetic materials that trap heat and make you sweat.

6. Optimize Your Sleep Position

Your sleep position can affect how hot you feel during the night. Sleeping on your back allows more air to circulate around your body compared to sleeping on your stomach or side. If you’re a side sleeper, consider placing a pillow between your knees to improve airflow.

7. Incorporate Cooling Rituals

Develop a bedtime routine that helps lower your body temperature. Take a cool shower before bed to reduce your core temperature. You can also try using a cool damp washcloth on your forehead a few minutes before going to bed.

8. Embrace Comfort, the Kawaii Blankets Way
