How to cool down in bed?

Question

I'm so hot it's ridiculous. I can't leave myself outside of the blankets for long because then I get cold, then when I go back under them, I'm hot instantly. It's a vicious cycle. We have a fan and the window open. I don't know what to do and it makes me not be able to sleep. Any tips or tricks?

Answer

I have a wonderful pillow with a cooling gel side. I love it! It's called a "comfort revolution"...I bought it at Sam's...worth every penny

Answer

I have this problem so I started to sleep in underwear and a t shirt and use a lighter blanket and I've been doing okay since. Also a water bottle next to your bed, I've noticed if I take a sip of water, I feel cooler for some reason. May just be me, but may also be worth a shot! Good luck!

Answer

Ice packs. I keep about two or three on rotation during the summer months, lol. Wrap an ice pack in a towel and keep it near your chest/feet.

Answer

Our A/C tends to freeze a lot in the summer and the fan we have sucks major ass, so what I do is get the ice gel packs from our freezer and put them in our pillow cases, which helps significantly. We also sleep under a single thin sheet and in nothing but our underwear

Answer

I've been sleeping in a sleep bra and underwear and it's helped a ton. Temps are already in the 100s here, so I'll probably need a lighter blanket soon too. Oh, and I've banned my older kids from our bed, the extra body heat/small children wrapped around me wasn't helping at all.

Answer

Yes! I treated myself to a couple of cute pairs of shorts and vest type pyjamas. I also bought a little fleece blanket to sleep under instead of my hot duvet! I find that during the night I pull the duvet over me but to get to sleep the blanket keeps me cool xxx
