How to keep your bedroom cool and comfortable naturally

Air-conditioners are great, and they feel like an essential in the heat. But they’re horrid on the environment and terrible for your electricity bill. Perhaps you care about one and not the other? But we’re going to bat for a few sustainable ways to keep cool, especially when we are all spending a lot of time indoors. So, a few mindful bedroom design suggestions to keep your bedroom cool, calm, and sweat-free…

1. Use Light Bedding

• For the summer, use light covers, and thin light quilts. Heavy quilts are best for the winter. 
  
• Choose sheets that absorb sweat better and allow air to circulate. Linen can be quite rough and warm as bedding during the summer.

2. A Blanket Hack

• Place sheets in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for a bit before bedtime. It won’t last the whole night, but, you’ll fall asleep feeling cool.
  
• There’s an old Egyptian hack: dampen your sheets and wring out all the excess water. Then sandwich yourself between a dry sheet below you and the moist one on top. This actually remains cool almost the whole night. Remember: Only try this if you live in a place with dry climatic conditions.
