Why Regulating Temperature Improves Sleep
If you have ever woken up drenched in sweat or shivering under the covers, then you know that temperature has a powerful impact on sleep. Whether you are working with a sleep consultant, navigating gentle sleep training with your child, or just trying to get through the night without waking up, finding the right temperature balance both in the room and for your body is essential for a truly restorative sleep.
The Science Behind Sleep and Temperature
Your body is designed to follow a 24-hour circadian rhythm which includes a natural dip in core temperature at night. This drop in body temperature signals to your brain that it is time to wind down, which triggers the release of the sleep hormone, melatonin.
However, if your environment is too warm or too cool, it can interfere with this biological process, disrupt deep sleep and lead to frequent night wakings.
Room Temperature: The Ideal Range
Sleep experts recommend keeping the bedroom between 18°C and 21°C. This range supports the body’s natural cooling process without causing discomfort. In baby and toddler sleep, this becomes even more critical. Overheating has been linked to night wakings and increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Pairing a well-controlled room temperature with the right bedding and breathable pajamas creates the perfect environment for healthy sleep.
Body Temperature and Sleepwear: What You Wear Matters
This is where One of a Kin sleepwear makes a significant difference. Unlike traditional cotton PJs, which can trap heat and absorb moisture, One of a Kin pajamas are made from Modal Micro. This is a premium fabric that is lightweight, breathable, and incredibly soft on the skin. Most importantly, it:
- Regulates body temperature by adapting to your body's needs
- Wicks moisture to keep you dry throughout the night
- Enhances breathability, reducing the chances of overheating
- Feels feather-light, so it doesn't weigh you down or trap heat
This makes One of a Kin the best brand not just for adults, but for children navigating gentle sleep training where comfort and consistency are key to success.
Cotton vs Modal Micro PJs
While cotton pajamas are widely used, they have limitations when it comes to temperature control. Cotton absorbs moisture but doesn’t dry quickly, leaving you damp and uncomfortable during the night. Modal Micro, used in One of a Kin pyjamas, is engineered for optimal thermal balance, offering a smoother and cooler feel.
Conclusion
Temperature control isn’t just about comfort; it is important for restorative and high-quality sleep. From your thermostat to your bedding to your pajamas, every layer plays a role in keeping your body’s temperature within the ideal range.
With One of a Kin, you are not just wearing pajamas, you are investing in smarter sleepwear that adapts to your needs, supports your natural temperature rhythms, and helps you (and your family) have better quality sleep.
