15 Tips for Night Sweats and Poor Sleep
Half past two in the morning. You suddenly wake up, drenched in sweat. Your pajamas are wet and clammy but so are your bottom sheet, comforter and pillow. You'll never get back to sleep that way. So out of your bed, clean pajamas, turn over your comforter and pillow and a towel on the bottom sheet. An hour later you wake up again. No he...
Silencing the noise
Night sweats, it's no fun. 52% of Europeans say they regularly sleep badly because of the temperature, and night sweats are often heard in this regard. Question is: Can you actually do something about it yourself? In many cases, yes.
First of all: temperature is - after stress - the biggest sleep disruptor. Think about the temperature in your bedroom but also that under your comforter.
Your body can also get hotter and sweat due to other causes. Consider menopausal women and people with stress, illness, alcohol and medication use.
Poorly ventilated mattresses, tickings, sheets, quilts and comforter covers also make it far too warm in your bed. Synthetic materials seal everything off and also create more dust mites (droppings from dust mites often create allergic reactions). A poorly ventilated room is also a major cause.

Our 15 tips for a dry and therefore comfortable night's sleep, here they come:
- Check your bedroom temperature (best is 17 deg.) and ventilation. Preferably open a window even in winter. Be careful with fans and air conditioning.
- How high is the temperature under your comforter? Often it is around 33 degrees and that is too warm. Ideal is 27 to 29 deg.
- Wear breathable and cooling nightwear. If you get hot quickly, wear as little clothing as possible.
- Provide a ventilating underbed with natural breathable materials (preferably slatted or box spring)
- Choose a ventilating (pocket spring) mattress with natural materials that is not too deep (the deeper, the warmer)
- Also, make sure your comforter is made of breathable and natural material.
- In summer, use a thinner comforter or just your sheet.
- Also choose breathable and natural materials for sheets, comforter covers and pillowcases. Think soft linen or cotton, which are "open" fabrics that are pleasant and cool to the touch. Combined with Kashmir is absolutely fantastic, air goes right through that.
- Try the new Ventair comforter: the first (100%) down comforter that lets excess heat escape naturally. Tailor-made from the finest ticking, in different warmth classes.
- Experience the 3D ventilating mattress protector from Bröring. This creates a layer of air between your body and mattress so that there is always ventilation. Even at pressure points, such as at your hip and shoulders.
- Want the best ventilating bed with personal climate control? Then experience Freshbed, the first bed with its own active climate control. You set the temperature and ventilation and Freshbed does the rest. With a medical Hepa filter that continuously purifies the circulating air while you sleep. The result is a sleep improvement of up to 50%.
- Don't be too active before bedtime. Your body needs several hours to cool down after e.g. exercise
- Some beverages, foods and medications contain substances that can cause night sweats. Consider alcohol, spicy foods, and medications such as aspirin, paracetamol and antidepressants.
- Does your mattress regularly get wet from night sweats? House mites and mold will then multiply extra quickly. You combat this with Bröring Premium Bedcare, an annual deep cleaning of your mattress.
- Night sweats are annoying but usually harmless. If it persists, consult your doctor anyway.
