What’s better than sleeping with the windows wide open and feeling the breeze on your skin? Realizing it’s 9 AM in the morning and you fell asleep before midnight.
But, that doesn’t usually happen during the summer months, now does it?
It’s no secret that summer heat waves are no fun—especially when you want to get to sleep at a reasonable hour. Heat prevents us from getting sleep and makes us dread attempting to go to bed the very next night. But, something has to give right?
It can and it will. In today’s article, we are going to talk through some of the best sleep hacks out there to help you get a full night’s sleep (finally). Some of these hacks may seem a little extreme, but there are some desperate people out there that need to cool down to get to sleep.
6 Cooling Sleep Hacks to Beat the Heat
1. Sleep with a Thin Sheet
You wake up in the middle of the night in a sweat. What’s the first thing you do?
This first tip may be an obvious one but we wanted to include it just because we saw it fitting. But, it’s time to shed those extra layers off you! Ditch the fuzzy blankets and quilts. Use only your premium microfiber sheets to sleep with—at least until you cool off.
Extra Tip? If you are still too hot from even a sheet, try placing your sheets in the freezer 30-minutes before bed. We know it sounds crazy, but we heard it’s one of the best remedies for our hot sleepers out there.
2. Turn on the Fan (or Open a Window)
Next, try turning on the overhead fan or opening a window.
If you have two windows across from each other, this will be the perfect time to open them both up to get a cross-breeze flowing throughout your room.
Don’t have a window or an overhead fan? No problem. You can get a portable fan to cool you down. You can often find a cheap one on Amazon or from other retailers in your town.
3. Sleep with Ice Packs?
You heard that right. Ice packs.
Ice packs aren’t only used to pack your favorite lunches to work, you can also use them to cool you down at night. I mean, why not “kill two birds with one stone” if you can? Ice packs are cheap and readily available to start using right away when you need them the most. Just be sure to pop them back in the freezer after you wake up!
Pro Tip: If you aren’t placing a thicker sheet between you and the ice pack, wrap your ice packs in a towel before placing them on your body. (No one likes to wake up to a frost burn in the morning.)
4. Dress Light (or Not at All)
Hey. We aren’t here to judge.
If you are feeling too warm to get a full night’s rest, it’s time to lose some layers. Whether it be shedding off your hoodie or going full commando, you have to do what you have to do to get through the night.
But, let’s say you do want to wear something to bed. What do you wear if flaunting your birthday suit isn’t your style? In that case, we suggest that you wear lightweight, breathable pajamas to stay comfortable throughout the entire night.
5. Kick Out Fido
We’re sorry to say but if your furry friend likes to sleep by your side at night, they have to go.
We know. We know. They can look cute sleeping by your side. But, if they are so hot to the point that they’re making you sweat, it’s time to put them in their own bed. It may take some time to make those adjustments for everyone involved—you and your pet—but you will be grateful that you made that executive decision in the long run.
