Sleep Cool for Better Health
When getting your best sleep, temperature matters more than you might think.
Your body has a natural sleep-wake cycle—the circadian rhythm—influenced by your core body temperature.
As you wind down for the evening, your body temp naturally drops, signaling your brain that it’s time to rest.
So, a cool environment supports this natural decrease and helps you fall asleep faster and experience deeper, more restorative sleep.

When summer days start to heat up, you can keep your sleep environment cool by following a few practical tips:
Optimize Airflow:
Keep your windows open or use fans to improve ventilation and promote air circulation.
Choose Breathable Bedding:
Opt for lightweight, natural fabrics like organic cotton or bamboo that allow heat to escape and keep you cool.
Program It:
Automate your bedroom temp with a programmable thermostat or smart home technology for a consistently cool sleep environment.
