Do you want to know how to make your room cooler? I have 4 tips that I’m sharing with you to help you get a restful night’s sleep.
Good sleep is essential to good health, but so many people find it hard to get the recommended 8 hours a night. Often, the problem is that they are uncomfortable in their bedroom because the temperature is wrong. A small difference of just a few degrees can make it much harder to get to sleep and sleep through the night without waking up. But if you can find the perfect temperature, you will notice a massive change in your sleep patterns and your overall health and wellbeing when you are awake. Here’s how you can get the perfect temperature in your bedroom and improve your sleep.
4 Ways To Make Your Room Cooler
1. Invest In A Breathable Bed
Your bed is the first place to start if you are too warm during the night. Cheap mattresses and bedding are not great at circulating cool air and you will quickly overheat when you are in bed. When you are designing your bedroom suite, do some research and find a good mattress that will keep you cool during the night. Don’t buy cheap bedding either because sheets that are nylon-based can get very scratchy and hot too. Once you get your bed right, you will see a big improvement and you can start making changes elsewhere to get the perfect sleeping temperature.
2. Install Air Conditioning to keep your room cooler
If you don’t have air conditioning in your home, it’s very difficult to manage the temperature in the summer. So, call an air conditioner installation company and have them install a unit in your home. When you can have a constant flow of cool air coming into the house and you are able to precisely control the temperature, you can experiment until you find the ideal temperature for sleeping. Once your air conditioning unit is installed, you need to make sure that it is well-maintained.
3. Open The Windows to keep your room cooler
If you are excessively hot and your air conditioning isn’t cutting it, you should just open the windows to let some fresh, cool air in. However, even though this helps with the temperature, it can cause other problems that will disrupt your sleep. If you live on a busy road, the noise from outside can disturb you, so you’re just swapping one problem for another. If you live in a quiet area, you don’t need to worry, but don’t sleep with the window wide open if noise is an issue.
4. Close The Blinds During The Day
In the summer, your bedroom is heating up all day long as the sun shines through the window. By the time you go to bed, it will be hot and stuffy in there and you will be tossing and turning all night long. Even if you have air conditioning, it will take some time for the room to cool down again. The good news is, you can easily prevent this by shutting the blinds during the day. By stopping the sun from coming in, you keep the room cool and it’s easier to manage the temperature during the night. You can get some great blinds that are specifically designed to keep heat out.
Temperature is one of the biggest things that gets in the way of good sleep, especially in the summer. But with these simple changes, you can stay cool all night long.

I can’t imagine sleeping without air conditioning here in central Florida! I do need to think about a new bed, perhaps we will find one that helps to keep me cooler (although my hubby thinks it is always too cool at night)!
