When you sleep with a thick sweater on at night, your body temperature may be higher than normal. Body temperature naturally drops during sleep to ensure deep and restful sleep. Wearing a sweater disrupts this process and can make you feel uncomfortable, sweat more, and feel hot. This can often disrupt your sleep and prevent you from fully resting.
The body’s ideal sleeping temperature is around 18°C to 21°C. If the room temperature or your clothes are too warm, the possibility of sleep disturbance increases. This can result in frequent tossing and turning, disrupted sleep and fatigue the next day. Impaired sleep quality can also lead to problems such as mental fatigue, difficulty concentrating and mood swings.
Sleeping in a sweater causes the body to overheat, and it tries to cool itself by sweating. This sweat often disturbs your sleep. Constant sweating also increases the risk of dehydration. Due to this, you may feel thirsty again and again at night and cannot sleep comfortably throughout the night.
Sweating not only disrupts sleep but also affects the skin. Wearing a sweater at night can increase sweating, which can cause skin rashes, itching, rashes, or heat rash in some people. Prolonged wearing of warm clothing affects the skin’s ability to breathe and can increase the risk of infection.
Sleeping with a sweater on can also affect circulation. Warm clothes can overheat the body and prevent proper blood circulation. This can cause fatigue, numbness in the hands and feet, or cramps. In the long term, this habit can also put pressure on the heart and blood vessels.
– Wear light and comfortable clothes when sleeping in winter, so that the body can regulate its temperature naturally.
– If it is very cold, use a heater or blanket to raise the temperature of the room.
– Take a warm bath before going to bed; It relaxes and warms the body without excessive sweating.
– Wear natural cotton clothes; It allows the skin to breathe and absorbs sweat.
