It’s about SLEEP. It’s about QUALITY. It’s about YOU.
Nightwear and bedding
can greatly affect wether you'll
feel hot or cool as you sleep.
Do you find it a tad more challenging to get a good night's sleep during the summer months?
If you answered 'yes', you're not alone. Longer days, increased heat, and changes in routine can wreak havoc on our sleep patterns.
But fret not! With the right approach, you can enjoy sweet dreams even on the hottest nights.
Let's explore how, shall we...
Is Your Bedroom Summer Friendly?
Us and other sleep experts agree - the temperature of your sleeping environment can make or break your sleep quality. So, how do we make our bedrooms more sleep-friendly this summer?
Consider an air conditioner or fan. If it's cooler outside, cracking open a window can also help.
Have you thought about investing in blackout curtains or shades? They can work wonders in keeping out that early morning sunshine and extra warmth.
And remember, a cooler room is the first step to a cooler you!
Are Your PJs and Bedding Summer-Ready?
Did you know that your choice of sleepwear and bedding can significantly affect how hot or cool you feel during the night?
Why not try lightweight, loose-fitting sleepwear? Natural fibers like cotton or bamboo are great at wicking away sweat, keeping you cool and comfortable.
Have you considered summer-friendly bedding? Bamboo, linen or percale cotton sheets are fantastic at helping regulate body temperature.
And speaking of staying cool, have you heard about our Hotel Pillows? It's a dream come true, offering excellent support and helping you maintain a pleasant temperature throughout the night.
What's Your ‘Before Bedtime’ Routine?
Your routine leading up to bedtime is just as important as the environment in which you sleep.
So, what is it like for you?
Take cool shower before bed! It can help lower your body temperature and set the stage for a good night's sleep.
What about reducing your intake of caffeine and alcohol, especially late in the day? Both can interfere with your ability to fall asleep and the quality of sleep you get.
And if you’re thinking about late-night snacks… Heavy or spicy meals can cause discomfort and even heartburn, disrupting your sleep. Go for a light snack instead if you're hungry.
Embrace the Season
Summer can bring changes that disrupt our sleep, but it also brings opportunities. Use summer to your advantage!
How about using longer daylight hours to increase your physical activity? Regular exercise can promote better sleep, but remember not to do it when it’s almost bedtime.
Take advantage of summer's bounty. Many summer fruits and veggies are rich in nutrients that can promote sleep and are super yummy! Cherries, for example, are a natural source of melatonin.
Lastly, don't stress about the occasional sleepless nights. Stressing about it can make it even harder to fall asleep. Instead, focus on creating conditions that promote good sleep, and your body will do the rest!
Just a few simple changes and a strong will can make a world of difference in achieving something.
After all, good sleep is the cornerstone of good health and high spirits! Let's welcome summer with a smile, knowing we're equipped to enjoy restful nights no matter the weather.
Here's to a summer filled with deep, restorative sleep and energized days! Sweet dreams, everyone!
