Best Cooling Pajamas for Hot Sleepers

If you’ve ever woken up in the middle of the night drenched like you ran a marathon in your sleep, congratulations — you’ve earned the Hot Sleeper Badge. Unfortunately, this badge doesn’t come with free coffee or extra naps. What it does come with is the desperate need for pajamas that won’t turn your bed into a sauna.

The good news? Pajamas aren’t just pajamas anymore. Fabric technology has finally caught up with midlife reality (somebody give those textile engineers a medal), and there are actually sleepwear options designed to keep you cool, wick away sweat, and help you get back to dreamland without needing a towel.

Taming the Flame

Hot flashes may come uninvited, but at least your pajamas don’t have to add fuel to the fire. Cooling sleepwear won’t cure night sweats, but it will help you:

• Fall asleep without feeling like you’re wrapped in a heating pad.

• Stay drier when the 2 a.m. “personal summer” kicks in.

• Wake up a little less cranky (no guarantees, but it helps).
