🥶 Struggling to get a good night’s sleep this winter? You might be making one common bedroom mistake! 🤔
As the cold sets in, many of us are guilty of cranking up the heating for a warm and cosy slumber. However, Dr Gareth Nye warns that an overheated bedroom could be sabotaging your rest. 🔥
The key to better sleep? A cooler room! Your body needs to drop its core temperature to drift off comfortably. Dr Nye notes that while it seems logical to blast the heating, it might interrupt the natural sleep process. 💤
Aim for a bedroom temperature of 16 to 18 degrees. Instead of heating the whole room, focus on warming your bed. Use a hot water bottle or slip into some cosy yet breathable pyjamas to stay snug without overheating. 🛌
Did you know that warming your feet can help you fall asleep faster? Wearing socks made from natural fibres can keep your toes toasty, supporting vasodilation and prompting your body to snooze. 🧦
So, next time you’re tempted to turn the thermostat up high, remember—a cooler room might just be the secret to a peaceful night’s sleep! 🌙✨
Sweet dreams, everyone! 🌛💤
