Too Hot to Sleep? Try These 5 Cooling Night Time Tips

Getting to sleep when the weather’s warm can be tricky. If you’re tossing and turning or waking up feeling too warm, you’re not alone. The good news is there are some simple, natural ways to stay cool and comfortable through the night, no fancy gadgets required. Try these 5 cooling night time tips for a cooler night's sleep:

1. Let the Air Flow

Open your windows during the cooler parts of the day (early morning or late evening) to let in fresh air. If it’s safe, keep a window slightly open overnight or use a fan to help circulate the air while you sleep.

2. Choose Breathable Bedding

Swap heavy duvets for lightweight sheets made from natural materials like cotton or linen. These fabrics allow your body to breathe and help reduce overheating.

3. Cool Down with a Shower

A lukewarm or cool shower just before bed can help lower your core temperature, preparing your body for rest and helping you feel clean and refreshed before sleep.

4. Chill Your Pillowcase

Pop your pillowcase in the freezer for 20–30 minutes before bed. It’s a quick trick that gives your head a cooling sensation as you settle down, making it easier to relax in the heat.

5. Refresh with a Cooling Pillow Spray

A few spritzes of our Good Night Pillow Spray on your pillow or sheets adds a gentle, calming scent while helping to freshen your space. Made with natural essential oils like lavender, chamomile, bergamot and vetiver, it’s the perfect way to create a soothing, spa-like sleep environment on warm nights.

Bonus Tip for Parents:

Hot nights can be just as hard on little ones. Our No More Bad Dreams Pillow Spray and Unicorn Dream Mist Pillow Spray are specially formulated for children, using gentle, natural ingredients such as lavender and chamomile essential oils. A quick spritz on their pillow or cuddly toy can help create a comforting bedtime routine, and make hot, uncomfortable nights a little more manageable for the whole family.

With just a few simple changes, you can beat the heat and sleep more soundly. Here’s to cooler, calmer nights, naturally.
