5 Ways That Sleeping Cool Can Make You Healthier

Whether you are an adventurer, a writer, technician, or retired, everyone needs a great night sleep. But when it comes to getting a restorative sleep, most people only factor in their mattress and it's pressure-relieving qualities. That isn't the only way to find a restorative sleep, however. Maintaining the proper body temperature for a higher quality of sleep is just as important and is one of the key factors in waking up refreshed and being healthy.

Benefits of Sleeping Cooler

The optimal temperature for the most restorative sleep is approximately 60 – 67 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures much lower or higher, and your body begins to spend its energy on regulating its core temperature while you sleep which means your quality of sleep goes downhill fast. Sleeping cooler has some surprising benefits to both your quality of sleep and your overall health.

1. Fall Asleep Faster and Sleep Deeper

When the human body's temperature drops at night, it triggers the “hit the hay” response and there is nothing you want more in the world than to crawl into bed. This means you fall asleep faster, and the cooler environment will then lead you to sleep both longer and deeper.

2. Prevents Insomnia

One of the biggest causes of insomnia is the rising of body temperature during the night. Sleeping cool can help to prevent this rise of body temperature, allowing you to sleep longer and deeper, and in the case where you do wake up during the night, can help you fall back asleep faster.

3. You Will Look More Youthful

The old adage about getting your beauty sleep was not far from the truth! Sleeping cool allows the body to release more of its natural melatonin which is one of our best anti-aging hormones. Melatonin also helps you to fall asleep and stay asleep, and our melatonin levels are also important in the body's ability to fend off disease.

4. Lose Weight

Sleeping cooler allows your body to produce more brown fat, which burns calories rather than stores it. This leads to burning more calories during the day (and night) and is a good boost to your metabolism. Not only does boosting our metabolism help shed those unwanted pounds, but preventing obesity also helps with those diseases that are linked to it.

5. Lowers Risk of Metabolic Diseases

The increased metabolism and amount of brown fat in the body increases and regulates how the body processes excess blood sugar, which means that sleeping cooler can help lower your risk of diabetes and other diseases. As mentioned above, increasing the body's metabolism helps to prevent obesity, and with that, preventing the risks and diseases associated with it.

How Nolah Helps You Sleep Cooler

Nolah's foam mattresses are made with brand new technology called Nolah AirFoam™. AirFoam™ is made without viscoelastic and heat-trapping chemicals like traditional memory foam uses. Memory foam absorbs your body heat in order to soften and move to the contours of your body, but the downside is that your body heat is trapped against you all night so that you sleep warm, not cool. Memory foam also stores your body heat, not dissipates it, which can then lead to you waking up as a sweaty mess.

Nolah AirFoam™ is 100% temperature neutral and not affected by environmental or seasonal temperature changes, so you can sleep comfortably all night long. Not only does Nolah AirFoam™ not retain body heat, but it is also much better at dissipating your body heat faster so that you can stay cooler. The natural viscose cover also wicks away moisture and helps with dissipating your body heat so you can sleep in cool comfort.

You try to be healthy by being active, getting outdoors and enjoying our world. You eat healthy and you want to live a long and enjoyable life and when one-third of that life is spent sleeping, you want it to be the healthiest and greatest sleep that it can be!
