Women and men (men have night sweats too) need to get the best possible night’s rest and some common causes are night sweats, hot flashes and sleeping next to a partner that produces excess heat. When we are tired we're more sensitive to changes in temperature. Our body temperature falls at night, with women reaching their minimum body temperature quicker than men. During menopause women tend to feel like a furnace from hot flashes and hang their legs out the side of the bed to get cool, least snuggle with their partner. The human body naturally sweats to cool the skin, reducing the ability of bedding to keep the body dry and comfortable. The Cool Pillow Cover (Standard) - made with Outlast® can actively regulate body temperature throughout the night absorbing, storing and releasing excess heat so you’re not too cold or hot, but just right. Outlast’s phase-change material, called Therocules, adapts to your constantly changing temperature to prevent sweating as opposed wicking products that make you comfortable after you start sweating. Moisture-wicking products are intended to keep you cooler by transferring moisture away from your body to the outer layer of the fabric.
You can help decrease your symptoms by avoiding hot flash triggers such as; hot/spicy foods, hot liquids, alcohol, white sugar, stress, hot weather (right), saunas, hot tubs, tobacco, marijuana and anger. Hot flashes deplete our body of vital nutrients including; B vitamins, vitamin C and magnesium, calcium and potassium. Magnesium, calcium and potassium help you sleep better, so it is important to take a complex vitamin or supplement to get the amount your body needs. It is very difficult to prescribe exact doses for supplements since everybody responds differently. Sometimes it is useful to work with someone who is familiar with supplements and vitamins to get advice on dosages and adjustments. Herbs commonly used to alleviate hot flashes include ginseng, black cohosh, vitex agnus castii, blue cohosh, dong quai, *wild yam root* [natural progesterone, licorice root, false unicorn and sarsaparilla. Evening primrose oil alleviates hot flashes and promotes restful sleep.
