Too Hot at Night? Try This…
Are you too hot at night in your bed when you’re sleeping (or trying to sleep)? You’re not alone. Many people suffer from feeling too hot at night for various reasons. Pinpointing the main cause/s of your overheating at night can help you alleviate this problem.
Since we live in Hawaiʻi, the air temperature inside your home can naturally be warm, hot, or humid depending on where you live, and the elevation of your home, as well as its proximity to the ocean, the climate of your neighborhood, etc. Obviously, having air conditioning is an easy way to quickly cool off your bedroom! But not everyone has A/C, so what are some other options…
Fix Your Bedroom so You Can Sleep Cool at Night
- Rearrange your bedroom furniture for optimum airflow from the available windows and door.
- Add blackout curtains to keep the room cooler during sunlight hours when it may be heating up and then retaining that heat into the evening when you’re ready to sleep.
- Keep the ceiling fan running more often, especially during the day when the room may be heating up. Add more fans to help circulate the air out of your room. Pay attention to trade winds and breezes that might offer natural airflow opportunities in your bedroom earlier in the day and later in the evening to help cool off the room.
