Tips to Prevent Sweating While Sleeping

The UAE summer heat is here, and you may be tossing and turning at night, trying to get a full night’s rest. That’s because warm temperatures can make it hard to fall asleep, stay asleep and feel refreshed when you wake up.

Body temperature rises during the day due to activity and sun exposure. When people go to bed, their body temperature should be dropping off significantly by the time they fall asleep. But when it’s warmer than usual outside — even if you’re sleeping with your windows open — your body may not cool off as quickly as usual during the night. A mattress protector UAE probably can help you resolve this issue.

Humidity makes it harder for sweat glands to work efficiently and therefore increases sweating during sleep. If you’re sweating more than usual while trying to sleep, this might make you feel uncomfortable or restless throughout the night. If you live in a climate that experiences extreme temperatures in summer, the following tips may help.

Reduce Time Spent Outdoors During Peak Hours 

Try to avoid being outside during the hottest part of the day (usually between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.) if possible. If not, try to spend as little time outside as possible between those times.

Keep Indoor Areas Cool

Close blinds or curtains on windows facing west or southwest (directly into sun), as these receive the most heat from the sun during the day; use fans in rooms where people are likely to spend time; turn up air conditioning.

Use CFL or LED Lightbulbs

Light bulbs release heat that can make you feel hotter at night when trying to sleep, which may trigger sweat production in some people. Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) produce far less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs and last longer too, making them an excellent choice for bedrooms where they will be left on all night long.

Change Your Diet

Eliminate caffeine and alcohol from your diet, as these substances can contribute to increased sweating. It also helps to eat foods rich in vitamin B6 and tryptophan, which help regulate the nervous system and reduce stress hormones that trigger sweat glands.

Try Hot Showers

Hot showers or baths help relax the body by increasing blood flow, which reduces stress on the cardiovascular system and decreases sweating. Try taking a warm shower or bath before going to bed each night for best results.

Use Antiperspirants

Antiperspirants are designed to temporarily plug up sweat glands while they’re inactive at night, so they don’t release any fluid when we sleep. Apply them at least 20 minutes before bedtime so they can take effect before we fall asleep.
