Overview

• Experts recommend setting bedrooms to 16–18°C to align with the body’s natural sleep-temperature cycle.
• Breathable, moisture-wicking bedding and gel-infused foam mattresses help sustain cooler skin contact all night.
• Taking a warm bath or lukewarm shower one to two hours before bed triggers the body’s cooling response.
• Pre-chilling pillowcases, sheets or memory-foam ice pillows in the freezer provides an initial cooling boost.
• Blocking direct sunlight with blackout curtains and delaying window openings until evening keeps rooms cooler while sleeping solo or in a starfish position maximizes airflow.
