Menopause sleepwear
The doctor's advice
1. What pajama fabrics are best for menopause night sweats?
”The best fabric is that which is silky and cosy to the touch and to your personal preference. If you are experiencing sleep difficulties due to overheating at night, such as women during the menopausal years, fabrics that are light and breathable are absolutely essential. Fabrics such as those derived from the eucalyptus tree are recommended for individuals experiencing overheating at night, as these fabrics have moisture wicking properties.”
—Dr Rebecca Robins, (PhD, researcher Harvard Medical School)
2. Does style matter when shopping for menopause sleepwear?
“Our body temperature ebbs and flows over the night, so it is important to consider this as you choose sleepwear or other elements of the bed itself. It is ideal to maintain a low core body temperature, so those who commonly report night sweats or being overly hot at night would benefit from sleepwear and bedding components that help maintain a low core body temperature as possible. What style you choose is up to you and the season/occasion!”
—Dr Rebecca Robins, (PhD, researcher Harvard Medical School)
3. Should I change sleepwear by season?
”Our sleep changes dramatically from season to season. For instance, we sleep for less time in the summer than in the winter months. Temperature is of course an important factor in seasonal differences to sleep. In the summer months make sure your body can remain cool by keeping an eye on your bedroom temperature and your
sleepwear.”
