How to Ensure a Good Night’s Sleep in the Heat

Struggling to sleep on warm summer nights? You’re not alone. Hot, humid weather can disrupt your body’s natural cooling process, making it harder to fall — and stay — asleep. But with a few conscious adjustments, you can stay cool, comfortable, and wake up refreshed.

Here are five simple, natural ways to sleep better when it’s hot:

1. Switch to Breathable Bed Linen

Your bedding plays a major role in temperature regulation. Opt for natural, breathable materials like organic cotton percale — its crisp weave allows air to circulate, drawing heat away from your body. Unlike synthetic fabrics, organic cotton is moisture-wicking and GOTS-certified for a toxin-free sleep.

Tip: Our 300-thread-count organic cotton percale bed linen is naturally cool to the touch — a summer sleep essential.

2. Keep the Bedroom Cool and Dark

Use blackout blinds to block out early sunrise and keep the room shaded during the day. Open windows in the evening to allow cooler air in, and consider placing a fan near a window to draw out warm air.

3. Sleep Solo (or Spread Out)

More bodies mean more heat. If sharing a bed, give each other space — and if possible, use separate covers to reduce trapped warmth.

4. Cool Down Before Bed

A lukewarm shower (not cold) before bed can help regulate your core temperature. You can also keep a bowl of cold water nearby for your wrists or feet — small cooling tricks can make a big difference.

5. Stay Hydrated – But Not Too Late

Sip water throughout the day, but reduce intake an hour before bed to avoid middle-of-the-night wakeups.

A good night’s sleep starts with the right environment — and natural, breathable bed linen is a powerful place to begin. At Conscious Convert, we craft bed linen using GOTS-certified organic cotton that feels cool, fresh, and gentle on the skin — perfect for warm-weather sleep.
