Relief for Hot Sleepers

A hot sleeper is someone who constantly feels hot or sweaty while sleeping and struggles to cool down even when sleeping in cooler room temperatures. Research recently showed that "hot sleepers" can affect 10% to 41% of people.

Being a hot sleeper can be caused by various factors, including poor sleep hygiene, a hot sleeping environment, genetics, hormonal changes, illnesses and infections, or certain medications. Health conditions like sleep apnea can also contribute to feeling hot while sleeping.

Bedding materials play a significant role in keeping cool while sleeping. Breathable fabrics such as bamboo, linen, cotton and Tencel cooling sheets are best for individuals who sleep hot. These materials promote airflow and move away moisture, helping to regulate your body temperature and allowing you to stay cool while sleeping. It's best to avoid synthetic fabrics like polyester, which can trap heat and cause discomfort.
