Looking for tips to stay cool at bedtime ? say no more 🥰
Here at @cosy collective we don’t like pointing out the obvious but it’s been a hot one over the last couple of days hasn’t it ? 🔥
With temperatures reaching 41 degrees in some parts of the uk and with the hottest day ever recorded making us sweat it out all day and night 😥
It bears the question how are we meant to cool down ? now you may think all fingers point to sleeping completely in the buff right ? well according to scientists not so 🚫
We have compiled a handy how to guide to staying cool in this rather balmy weather because we’re good like that.
What you wear to bed is paramount.
Try wearing loose fitting pyjamas made out of cotton or even better Bamboo modal 🥰 (please read our blog on the many benefits of our Bamboo fabric)
Contrary to popular belief sleeping in your birthday suit is counter productive.The argument is that when you are naked and start sweating, sweat collects on your body and stays there – making you feel warmer.
Luckily with our extra breathable and softer than cotton properties our @cosy.collective.co.uk bamboo pyjamas will aid in a more comfortable sleep -its science ! 🧪
What sheets you have on your bed makes an almighty difference too try and aim to use natural fibers such as cotton or bamboo- 😉
Keep your blinds/windows shut throughout the day, the shut blinds will keep away the greenhouse heating effect and the shut window will stop warm air circulating. Open windows later at night when the air is cooler 😎
Freeze your pillows (yes really) place your pillows in a zip lock bag (To avoid soggy pillows) Pop it in the freezer and hey presto a cool head.
Place a frozen ice pack in front of your fan it might not have the same effect as an air con unit but its still pretty effective.
Stay well perfused (here we are pointing the obvious) but it is surprising how easy it is to forget to stay hydrated.
Take a warm shower(again yes really) you may be tempted to take a freezing cold shower this can actually make you feel hotter as it can confuse your body’s natural heat signals.
so to break that down
Stay hydrated,stick your pillows in the freezer and buy some cosy collective bamboo pyjamas 😬
