Our advice for sleeping cool this summer
To sleep cool during the summer season, the first thing to do is to demand the best for your room.
This obviously requires good bedding, and in particular a good choice of mattresses.
The ideal is to opt for a mattress equipped with a summer side and a winter side, or even a refreshing mattress.
The models in question are equipped with technologies that allow air to circulate better and therefore your body temperature to regulate.
This type of mattress prevents night sweats, thus limits micro-awakenings and promotes more restful sleep.
Take your time if you decide to change your mattress. Weigh the "pros" and "cons" of the different equipment and proceed step by step with the selection criteria. If your primary goal is to get a cool night's sleep, focus on the materials used. For example, memory foam is less breathable than a surface with pocket springs. Indeed, if the coating is not sufficiently qualitative, it risks absorbing the heat of your body and retaining it. On the contrary, if you opt for a high-end refreshing mattress, the reception is more pleasant and comfortable. However, the design materials are not the only factors determining the reliability of a cooling mattress. The technologies used,the superposition of the layers or the quality of the cover are also important.
The cooling mattress is not the only bedding accessory to choose from. You can opt for a special mattress topper, and even add a mattress protector as well as a mattress protector. You should also pay special attention to your pillows and sheets. It is advisable to select light fabrics, such as bamboo, silk or cotton. These are naturally ventilated and prevent episodes of sweating at night. Also, be sure to remove blankets, throw pillows, and rugs that tend to retain heat.
Besides that, other tips allow you to sleep cool in summer. For example, you should make sure to keep your bedroom temperature at around 18 ° C. To do this: ventilate to cool the space as soon as possible, invest in air conditioning or a quality fan. Unplug televisions, computers, and chargers that may generate heat, and hang a large wet towel in front of your window to cool the ambient air. So that your body also stays at the right temperature when you sleep, consider taking a shower before falling into the arms of Morpheus. Note that a lukewarm shower or bath is more effective than a cold shower in cooling off and wicking away excess perspiration. Reduce the lighting, source of heat,and wear natural fiber pajamas. The latter is able to evacuate moisture from your body and the sheets.
Finally, to hope to sleep cool, adopt a routine on summer evenings, eating light and cold, limiting alcohol and exciting drinks like coffee and tea. Drink unlimited water or herbal teas, keep a fogger nearby and limit sources of stress: do not check your emails before going to bed and avoid screens.
