Which Eco-Friendly Duvets Are Best For Hot Sleepers?

Do you struggle to sleep regardless of if it is summer or winter? Being a hot sleeper can wreak havoc on settling into a deep and restorative night of shut eye . Add menopause symptoms into the mix and it can feel impossible to get more than a couple of hours of broken sleep.

Hot flushes can come on out of nowhere and have you up half the night trying to regulate your temperature. However, there are ways to adapt your sleep environment and manage being a hot sleeper, so that you can feel more relaxed and at ease as you try to fall asleep.

At the Fine Bedding Company we know that people want the comfort of a duvet at night but not always the heat that can come with it - particularly if you are already struggling to regulate your own temperature. In this article, you will find the optimum eco-friendly duvets and sustainable bed sheets to make falling asleep a breeze.

Perimenopause and menopause can make everyday tasks feel impossible and the same goes for when you want to go to sleep. Your hormones are all over the place making you feel irritable, fatigued and overwhelmed and when all you want is to switch off for a few hours, the hot flushes attack. It can feel impossible to get from one day to the next.

Why do women get hot flushes at night? During menopause or perimneopause, your hormones do not remain constant, estrogen levels can increase and drop for no reason. These spikes in hormones are what can bring on hot flushes. However, at night when you are trying to sleep hormone levels tend to spike at an increased rate, which will result in night sweats.

However, there are small practices you can put in place to manage your hot flushes and to make falling asleep not seem as daunting or challenging.

When your body goes through a hot flush, it can activate fight or flight mode, this can spike your adrenaline and make switching off and falling asleep near impossible. In these moments, don’t toss and turn and hope that sleep will eventually come. The more you try to force it the further out of your reach it can feel.

This is the time to take a deep breath, rid yourself of negative thoughts and just focus on inhaling your breath and exhaling. This will help to regulate your nervous system, which can lead to a sense of calm and eventually through practice will aid in you falling asleep.

Also, when you are experiencing a hot flush you don’t want to be wearing thick pyjamas or a jumper, even if it is in the middle of winter. Opt for breathable pyjamas that are cotton and lightweight, maybe a little night dress as you don’t want to have to deal with thick, damp clothes as you then try to sleep once the hot flush has passed.
