Curtains that block light from heating your room can help you create a cool and comfortable bed.
Sleeping in a cold room rather than a hot one can make a significant difference in your sleep comfort. However, you may not necessarily want to adjust your entire home thermostat to create a chilly bedroom. Fortunately, there are easy methods you can use to create a cool and comfortable bedroom and make sure that you avoid sleeping hot. The tips below can help prevent uncomfortable night sweating and inconsistent sleeping patterns.
Use a Gel Bed Topper
If you are sleeping on a memory foam mattress, you may get hotter throughout the night. That is because memory foam traps heat and increases your body temperature. Try a gel bed topper instead to create a comfortable bed that provides a cooling effect.
Use a Fan
A quiet fan in your bedroom can help you regulate your bedroom temperature while circulating air. The air will help evaporate any sweat you develop while you’re sleeping. Some sleepers also find that the white noise produced by fans helps them sleep soundly.
Open a Window
You can also open or crack a bedroom window to let in cool air and allow it to circulate. Opening a window also lowers the carbon dioxide in your bedroom, which has been shown to help people sleep more deeply with fewer awakenings.
Drink Water
Before going to bed, sip some water. This is a simple solution for helping to decrease your body’s core temperature.
Stick Out Your Feet
One of the most straightforward solutions for creating a cool and comfortable bed is to sleep barefoot and stick one or both feet out from under the covers. We lose a significant amount of body heat through our head, hands, and feet, so letting any of those body parts out from under the covers helps your body cool down.
Use Cooling Sheets
Thin sheets are best for a cool and comfortable bed, but the material matters too. Avoiding fabrics like flannel or synthetic materials is best, as both of those fabrics trap heat.
Use LED Lights
Incandescent lights generate much more heat than the alternative LED lights. Switching your lights in your bedroom can lower your room temperature, especially when you keep them off while you sleep.
Use Blackout Curtains or Blinds
Any light you are exposed to after bedtime interrupts your melatonin production, which is crucial for sleep. Blackout curtains can prevent light from entering your bedroom and heat from building up during the day and morning. If you have blinds, you can keep them closed during the day and night to prevent heat from building up in your room.
By trying out these methods, you can create a cool and comfortable bed that allows you to enjoy regular nights of deep sleep.
