Ideally, inorderfor us to geta good night’s sleep, there needstobea fractional temperature difference between our body and our brain– a warm body anda cool head. When the outdoortemperature rises, this becomes difficult, but there areplenty of thingsyou can dotobeatthe heat:

• Evaluateyoursleeping clothes –it’s important to consider not just the amount of clothing that youweartobed,but the materials the clothingismade of. Some materials (such ascotton), breathe much betterthan other materials (suchaspolyester orLycra). When your clothing doesn’t breathe, it holdsinthetemperature and keepsyou warm right throughoutthenight. • Circulateair flow –if the air inyour bedroomstopsflowing,you canoverheat whileyou’resleeping (since you’re staying in one place for several hours). Adding either a floor ora ceilingfan can circulatethe air throughyourroomtohelp preventyou from overheating whileyou sleep. For anextra benefit, youcould aim thefan closetoyour bed soyou feel thecool air as it circulates aroundyourroom. • Adjust yourcoversaccordingtothe season –ifyou use the same quilt or comforteryear-round, now is the timeto re-evaluate. You should have alightweight blanketor throwfor thewarmer months and somethinga little heavier, possibly made withgoose down,for thecolder months.Your bedding is criticaltokeeping you comfortable whileyou sleep, so it’s importanttodetermine what’s best foryou for each season.

For example, it’s possible that,for you, a top sheet is sufficient in the summertime.

The materialyour sheetsare made out ofcan also influence your comfort whileyou sleep. Cotton – as we’vementioned– breathes much better than flannel or satin sheets.

Don’tforgettoalsokeep hydrated.

Tossing and turning and sweatingatnight can result in dehydration, so make sure you get some H20 in thetank beforehand(just one glass will do the trick, unlessyou’re really into those 3ambathroom runs).
