Ways To Treat Night Sweats

Turning Down Thermostat Before Bed

Now that you have slipped into the perfect sleeping attire, whether it be the moisture wicking variety or nothing at all, it’s time for the next step. Turning down thermostat before bed should become a nightly routine. Studies have shown your body naturally lowers its temperature when going to sleep through a process called thermoregulation. Turning down the thermostat can not only help this process along, but can also aid in preventing night sweats. The thermostat temperature is recommended to be set anywhere between sixty and sixty-seven degrees Fahrenheit for an optimal night's sleep.

For those who may have trouble remembering to turn the temperature down, a programmable thermostat with an auto timer could be the answer.
