How to Keep Your Child Cool at Night
| Kat Maddox
Warmer Nights and Sleep Troubles When temperatures rise, it’s common for children to struggle with sleep. Keeping your little one cool at night can make a big difference to their comfort and rest.
Why Does Heat Affect Sleep? According to Sleep Foundation UK, sleep quality can drop if bedroom temperatures exceed 20°C (Sleep Foundation, 2024). Overheating can cause restless sleep and even wake your child during the night.
Top Tips for Cool and Calm Sleep
- Light Pyjamas: Choose breathable fabrics like cotton.
- Cool Room: Use a fan to circulate air. Keep curtains drawn during the day to reduce heat buildup.
- Bedtime Bath: A lukewarm bath before bed can help lower body temperature.
- Scented Calm: A light mist of Klearvol Sleep Tight Pillow Spray can offer a sense of calm without overheating the room.
Final Thought A restful night is essential, even in warmer weather. With the right preparations, you can help your little one sleep soundly all season long.
