DESPITE HEAT SLEEP WELL SLEEP

RUF | Betten
You are here: Home1 All about sleep2 Stop heat keeping you awake

Stop heat keeping you awake

Fact: our summers are getting hotter. Bedroom temperatures could well be reaching record highs. Set your bedroom – and yourself – to a pleasant sleeping temperature. RUF | Betten has a few tips for this.

Cooling bed linen

Choose the right bed linens made from climate-regulating materials such as natural silk, robust linen or else jersey, renforcé cotton or the ever-popular seersucker – all of these have a pleasant cooling effect on the skin. And they look great on box-spring or upholstered beds from RUF | Betten too!

Keep covered

A lightweight, temperature-regulating duvet and light sleepwear are a must in the heat. The reason? We sweat more in summer, even when it gets cooler at night. And your body can’t regulate its own temperature in the REM phase of sleep. So don’t risk getting cold by sleeping unclothed or without a cover! What’s more, lightweight covers and lightweight sleepwear absorb sweat and can stop you from getting too cold.

Use the cold night air

Leaving the bedroom window and the bedroom door open at night allows cool, fresh air to flow though the room. This helps you sleep better. But be careful – sleeping with direct exposure to draughts can lead to tension.

A light diet for a better night

Exhausting yourself even more in the heat with alcohol and rich food is hard work for the body. Light cuisine – such as salads, vegetables, fruit, lean meat, fish, potatoes and rice are easier for your body to process and can aid a more restful sleep. Oh and another tip… skip those sweaty workouts on hot summer days or do them when it’s cool early in the morning.

A warm shower

While a cold shower might sound tempting at the end of a hot day, it’s the worst thing you can do. This contracts your blood vessels and the keeps the heat in your body. This will increase your blood flow, making your skin red and warm. So opt for a lukewarm shower instead. This ensures your body doesn’t have to work too hard to cool down.

Turn off heat sources at night

Electronic devices in particular should be switched off on hot summer nights. They generate unnecessary heat – even in standby mode. So ideally turn off your smartphone, tablet and laptop or unplug these completely. The same goes for chargers. Save energy costs while you’re at it.

Let heat out

When the day’s heat arrives in the morning… shut it out. Close your windows when you get up, let the blinds down, and close the curtains. Don’t open them again until later in the evening when the air is at its coolest.

Cooling bed linen

Choose the right bed linens made from climate-regulating materials such as natural silk, robust linen or else jersey, renforcé cotton or the ever-popular seersucker – all of these have a pleasant cooling effect on the skin. And they look great on box-spring or upholstered beds from RUF | Betten too!

Whether a person is an early bird or a morning grouch is partly in their genes. We all have an individual biorhythm or a very individual "inner clock".
