Waking hours at night and clothes that do not make it worse

Short answer: Choose nightwear that does not pinch, does not twist and does not make you hot. If you are awake anyway, the clothing should at least not be one of the reasons.

The three things that wake you

Too warm, too tight and too much fabric that twists. All three are easy to fix, and they are the only three things clothing can do anything about. The rest is about something other than nightwear.

Temperature

A thin layer that absorbs moisture and releases it to the air keeps you dry. If you get warm at night, thin qualities beat thick ones. See bamboo nightwear for women.

Twisting and pressure

A close fitting style twists less than a wide one. A soft waistband with no tight elastic does not press when you lie on your side. See bamboo sleep shorts and bamboo nightwear for men.

Frequently asked questions

Does the bedding help too

Yes. A sheet that absorbs moisture and a cover of the same kind make the night more comfortable.

What temperature is best in a bedroom

Many people sleep best between sixteen and eighteen degrees, but it varies.

When should you seek advice

With persistent sleep problems, talk to your doctor about the cause.
