Plummeting temperatures, thermostats turned up, hot coco before bed. But are you actually getting a good night’s sleep? What you wear in bed really does affect the quality of sleep you have. Gents nightshirts and pyjamas are, of course, the options available. However, the material of these garments is inducive to your level of sleep.
Tight-fitting bedclothes is counterproductive when it comes to sleep. In fact, it is potentially dangerous for your health. For example, tight clothing can pinch your nerves and cause painful tingling and numbness. Tight nightwear can also prevent products flowing through your lymph nodes, causing problems with your immune system.
Cotton men’s nightshirts are available at James Meade, and not just any cotton nightshirt. James Meade nightshirts are specifically made in pure cotton to ensure breathability and freedom of movement. Natural materials like cotton, are a great choice for gents nightshirts and pyjamas. Depending on the climate you live in and your natural body temperature.
If your feet run too cold at night, then you may have trouble getting a deep night’s sleep. You’ll likely have a hard time thermoregulating if your extremities are colder than the rest of your body. In fact, one study found that wearing the correct kind of socks to bed can reduce the time it takes to fall asleep by 15 minutes.
At the same time, wearing very thick and insulating socks made from fabric like wool may have the opposite effect. Overheating your feet and causing them to create additional sweat and moisture. Avoid compression socks and instead, look for those with natural and breathable materials.
For the best results, change to a new pair of socks before you go to bed. So, you’re not exposed to old dirt and bacteria. Bathe in warm water or shower before bed. Then fully dry your feet before putting on socks to prevent possible fungal infections. Keeping your feet from freezing at night will have an overall positive impact on your sleep.
Keeping your body at the correct temperature and in a comfortable environment will create a solid foundation for you to sleep well. Whatever you decide to wear, loose and breathable cotton pyjamas, loose gents nights shirts, or put on lightweight socks, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable with your movement and temperature levels. Choosing material that is breathable and moisture wicking will always help and making sure those materials are clean and free of excess bacteria will leave both your skin and your overall health in better condition.
