In addition, waking up in bed drenched in sweat is not a particularly pleasant feeling.

Night sweats are caused by various factors.

What are the causes of profuse sweating during sleep?

Summer, sun, hot nights - and then, in the worst case, a top floor apartment.

Above all, high temperatures in the bedroom naturally drive night sweats onto our foreheads, and in the summer months they can be close to the 30 degree mark.

However, there are other reasons for the tropical feeling in bed:

• stress and mental exhaustion

• Improper nutrition immediately before sleep

• Alcohol consumption before sleep

• Intense loads in the evening

• Wrong duvet

• Warming covers such as terry cloth or beaver

How can I influence the sleeping climate?

Breathable blankets & more

So that our nocturnal general overhaul can literally take place as if we were sleeping, you should ensure an optimal room climate in the bedroom.

And that doesn't just mean sufficient ventilation!

TV, PC, stack of files and work documents have no place in your oasis of calm.

You should also let your mobile phone snooze in flight mode from time to time, because the blue light on the display prevents the body from producing the sleep hormone melatonin.

If it is nevertheless necessary to activate the smartphone in the evening, use the “night mode”, which filters the blue colors out of the display.

Electrosmog can also disturb the sleeping environment.

Power lines, mobile and radio, Bluetooth and WLAN networks emit electromagnetic radiation.

Sensitive people should either switch everything off or at least put the bed as far away as possible.

Rather cool slumber

Sleep is linked to a falling body temperature.

A cooler but not too cold bedroom temperature of 16 to 18 degrees helps the body to lower its temperature faster - and thus fall asleep faster.

Sleep is also deeper because the body does not have to expend additional energy to regulate temperature.

Of course, the choice of bed linen also plays an important role.

A wrong duvet can also lead to heavy sweating.

Ordinary blankets are not designed to regulate temperature.

Third of Life experts have designed special breathable and moisture-regulating duvets.

These prevent heat build-up under the ceiling.

Various studies were used during development.

What can I do against heavy sweating while sleeping?

Why do we sweat at all when we sleep when the body is not actually exposed to any stress?

Very simple: Sweating helps our body to maintain its optimal temperature.

A vital function that of course continues to exist during sleep.

You can support your body with simple means to equalize the temperature at night:

When does night sweats become pathological?

Am I going through menopause?

Many menopausal women are familiar with sweaty hair, damp nightgowns and damp bed sheets.

This is completely natural and nothing to worry about.

Because during menopause, levels of estrogen decrease, which irritates the area of ​​the brain responsible for temperature control.

The so-called hypothalamus reacts to this confusion with profuse sweating.

However, these hot flashes during menopause usually also occur during the day.

So if you wake up literally "drenched in sweat" only at night and for weeks, the advice of a doctor makes sense.

You may have sleep hyperhidrosis - the technical term for night sweats, for which serious medical causes must be ruled out.

If there is no identifiable cause for the night sweats, it is called idiopathic night sweats.

And this is where a breathable blanket can provide valuable services.

Many don't even notice it, but the body of a healthy person releases between 0.2 and 1.0 liters of sweat per night.

A natural cooling mechanism that protects us from overheating.

Which breathable duvet for night sweats?

One thing is certain: a breathable duvet to prevent sweating is the most important ingredient for a pleasant sleeping environment.

Since our body temperature drops during sleep, a blanket should keep you warm but prevent excessive sweating.

A good summer duvet must therefore meet certain criteria.

Since we still release moisture when we sleep, this places another requirement on the duvet: it has to wick this moisture away from the body.

Whether a breathable duvet warms without feeling damp depends primarily on the filling.

We took a closer look at how well the breathable duvets from Third of Life perform in this regard.
