what else helps

• Make sure you have the right bed linen: A

  cooling duvet and a pillow

  are usually the best ways to reduce night sweats.

  Choose bedding according to the season.

• Not only the bed linen is crucial.

• Adjust the

  room temperature and humidity

  .

  18° degrees are ideal in the bedroom.

• Change your diet

  relaxation techniques

  such as meditation can help.
