If you’ve been waking up hot and sweaty in the middle of these summer nights, don’t fret. A few simple yet effective tips can help you tackle summer night sweats and sleep with ease.

5 Ways to Stop Summer Night SweatsWoman Sleeping

During menopause, the hormone estrogen drops significantly and body temperature rises. To restore homeostasis, the body tries to cool off quickly by dilating the blood vessels, which forces blood flow to the skin. The result? Hot flashes and sweating, particularly in the wee hours of the night.

With a few smart strategies, however, you can overcome these temperature fluctuations, balance your hormones, and get the quality rest you need to feel your best.

      1. Take a cold shower before bed.
        A cold shower may not be your idea of a relaxing nighttime ritual, but it can be a great way to prevent night sweats. Cold showers drop your body temperature, which signals to your body that it’s time for bed. They also cool your skin to prevent that flushed feeling that comes in the middle of the night.If a cold shower feels too invigorating or uncomfortable, start with a cool shower and gradually reduce the temperature night by night until it’s tolerable. Or, try finding relief by placing cooling gel packs or a chilled water bottle on pulse points before sleep.
      2. Exercise regularly.Older woman exercising
        Staying active is one of the best ways to regulate hormones, improve sleep quality, and reduce night sweats. Make time for moderate exercises like walking, swimming, or yoga at least 3-5 days per week. Morning is the best time to exercise as this boosts your mood and your metabolism all day (to fight that menopausal weight gain). Try not to work out too close to bedtime as this can increase your body temperature and bring on more hot flashes and night sweats at night.
      3. Give your bed a makeover.
        Synthetic fabrics are more likely to trap body heat and encourage sweating at night. Instead, invest in breathable, temperature-regulating, and sweat-wicking bedding and pajamas made with 100% cotton or silk. Cooling pillows and mattress toppers also help to dissipate body heat and keep you comfortable throughout the night.
      4. Stay hydrated.Tired young woman drinking water
        Not only does drinking plenty of water help regulate body temperature and minimize dehydration-induced night sweats, but it also helps your body balance hormones more effectively. Drink water or herbal tea throughout the day, and snack on cooling summer foods with high water content (like cucumbers, watermelon, and grapes). It’s also smart to avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime, as they can increase night sweats and disrupt your sleep patterns.
      5. Try bio-identical hormone therapy.
        If night sweats and hot flashes are interfering with your ability to sleep well and take on the day, bio-identical hormone therapy can help. As an alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapy, this natural approach to hormone balance works by supplementing the body with plant-derived hormones that mimic our own. By providing the body with a more stable level of estrogen and other hormones, the body falls into a more natural balance and night sweats subside.
