    When you take a warm bath or shower, you’ll aid in the process of adjusting the ideal temperature for sleep. You may get a temporary boost of energy when you’re in the warm water, but your body will cool down as soon as you leave the water and dry off. If your shower was too hot though, you might need to give yourself about 60 to 90 minutes to cool down after

  • 2. Sleepwear

    Choose sleepwear that feels good when you put it on. Be sure to dress in pajamas that’s suitable for your sleeping arrangement. If you you’re a “hot” sleeper, a onesie is not a good idea... if you know you’re normally cold when sleeping, shorts and a tank would not be best. Being strategic about what your sleep attire is made of can also help regulate your body temperature during the night, which, in turn, can promote better slumber.
