Overheating and night sweats can wreck your sleep
— leaving you tired, restless, and drenched by morning. Whether it’s hormones, stress, or heavy synthetic bedding trapping heat, your body can’t find its natural temperature balance. Understanding what causes overheating and night Sweats and how to fix it naturally is the first step toward cooler, deeper rest.
So why does overheating and night sweats ruin sleep?
Hint…it is usually a sign of the body struggling to regulate its temperature.
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night feeling warm and slightly damp, only to kick off your covers and drift back to sleep? I’ve been there if your nights are consistently interrupted by soaked pajamas and bedding.
Let’s examine some potential causes of overheating and night sweats and consider how Antipodean Home's organic wool comforters can help you sleep better and sweat-free.

What’s Causing Your Night Sweats & Overheating?
Hormonal Rollercoasters
Hormonal changes, especially during menopause or andropause, can wreak havoc on your sleep. When estrogen levels drop in women and testosterone in men, your body’s temperature control can go haywire, leading to those dreaded night sweats.
Medication Side Effects
Some medications, like antidepressants, hormone therapy drugs, and even over-the-counter fever reducers, can have side effects that include overheating and night sweats. If you think your meds are to blame, it’s worth a chat with your doctor about other options.
Sneaky Infections
Certain infections, like tuberculosis or flu, can cause night sweats. Bacterial infections such as endocarditis (heart valve inflammation) and osteomyelitis (bone infections) are also culprits.
Sleep Disorders
Conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can trigger night sweats. OSA interrupts breathing during sleep, ramping up the body’s effort to breathe and, in turn, causing overheating and night sweats.
Body Temperature and Sleep Stages
During healthy sleep, your core body temperature naturally drops by about one degree. This cooling helps signal to the brain that it’s time to rest. When that drop doesn’t happen — due to heavy bedding, hormonal shifts, or poor airflow — your body keeps firing the “wake up” signal. That’s why overheating and night sweats can leave you groggy even after eight hours in bed: your body never truly enters deep, restorative sleep.
Stress and Anxiety
High stress and anxiety levels can activate your body’s “fight or flight” response, boosting your heart rate and blood pressure and causing overheating and night sweats. If you’re frequently anxious or stressed, this might be contributing to your night sweats.
Even when you do all the right things — cooling your room, choosing breathable sleepwear, drinking enough water — the wrong bedding can undo your efforts. Synthetic and down alternatives tend to trap heat and moisture, creating a humid microclimate around your body. The key is to let your body self-regulate. Natural fibers like organic wool actively balance temperature and moisture levels, keeping you cool when it’s warm and cozy when it’s cold — the perfect solution for overheating and night sweats all year round.
No matter the cause, the result is the same — overheating and night sweats disrupt your body’s natural sleep rhythm. When you’re too warm, your body struggles to reach deep, restorative stages of sleep. The solution isn’t to crank the AC or pile on synthetic cooling fabrics — it’s to choose materials that naturally regulate temperature, like organic wool.

How to Stop Overheating and Night Sweats Naturally
Cool Down Your Bedroom
I always ensure that my sleeping space is cool and breezy. Using a fan or air conditioning and opting for blackout curtains help maintain a dark, cool environment.
Choose Breathable Sleepwear
I choose lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics. Natural fibers like cotton or bamboo allow my skin to breathe and help keep me dry.
Stay Hydrated
I drink plenty of water during the day. Dehydration can worsen night sweats, so I keep my fluid intake up.
Relax and Unwind
Incorporating relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga into my routine helps reduce stress and improve my sleep quality.
When Lifestyle Fixes Aren’t Enough
If you’ve tried every trick — lowering your thermostat, hydrating more, or switching to lighter pajamas — and still wake up sweaty, the missing link is usually your bedding. Synthetic and down-alternative comforters create a barrier that traps body heat and moisture. That’s why the shift to organic wool is such a game changer for hot sleepers. It works with your body’s natural cooling rhythm instead of fighting against it.

FAQs on Wool Duvet Inserts, Comforters & Sustainable Bedding
What causes overheating and night sweats during sleep?
Common causes include hormonal changes, stress, certain medications, or bedding that traps heat. Synthetic materials and down alternatives often hold in warmth and moisture, making it harder for your body to regulate temperature.
What is the best bedding for overheating and night sweats?
Natural fibers like organic wool and cotton are ideal. They allow airflow, wick away moisture, and help maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature without trapping heat.

Yes. Wool fibers naturally regulate body temperature by absorbing excess heat and releasing it into the air. They also wick away moisture, keeping you cool, dry, and comfortable all night long.

Keep your bedroom cool, stay hydrated, wear breathable sleepwear, and switch to organic wool bedding that balances warmth and breathability. It’s the most natural way to restore deeper, more consistent sleep.
