Want Cooler Summer Nights? This Might Be the Secret.

Picture this: It is a balmy summer night. The temperature is reaching an all-time high of 50°C. And if that’s not enough, the scanty raindrops have left you sweltering in thick, moisture-laden air. For many in India, this is not far from reality today. Tossing and turning on such nights, a few hours of cool, uninterrupted sleep sound like a distant dream.

And while you might have tried it all, turning the temperature all the way down on the AC, refreshing yourself with icy drinks, and even flipping the pillow to enjoy the fleeting pleasure of its cooler side, nothing can get rid of the sticky, clammy feeling as your night suit clings to you. But did you know there is a surprisingly simple answer to all your summer night woes: cotton nightwear.

Yes, that’s right. What you wear to bed matters, especially during these oppressive summer months. In fact, switching to cotton nightwear is the secret to longer, deeper, and cooler sleep. Still not convinced? Well, let's explore a few reasons why switching to cotton nightwear might just be the change you needed in your sleep routine.

Breathe Easy, Sleep Easy

Did you know that over 70% of consumers rate cotton as the most comfortable fabric? One of the many reasons for this global bias for cotton is simply because it is a breathable fabric. Now, what do we mean by ‘breathability’? This simply means that cotton, being a naturally hollow fabric, allows air to freely circulate between your skin and the outside world. Its natural fibres do not trap air or moisture, successfully resolving the most common challenge of sleeping in warm weather, trapped body heat and raised humidity levels.

While synthetic fabrics may look trendy and give a sleek look, they also cling to the skin, leading to raised body temperature. Not only that, they also trap air and moisture, leading to disrupted sleep during hot nights due to a garish, sticky, suffocating feeling. So do your body a favour and wear cotton nightwear this summer, and let natural ventilation do the job your air conditioner has failed to perform.

In fact, according to many peer-reviewed sleep studies, thermal comfort plays an integral role in how deeply one sleeps. What this means is that how cool or warm your body feels is inextricably linked to your sleeping pattern. So, if your body struggles to regulate its temperature due to improper sleepwear, it can wreak havoc on the body’s sleep cycle, making you restless while asleep.

Cotton nightwear provides an easy fix to this by supporting your body’s natural thermoregulation, especially during long, humid Indian summers. This enhances your body’s natural ability to control temperature, which means better sleep cycles, more energy the next day, and improved mood and focus over time.

Midnight Sweats? What is that?

Cotton is often known as the most absorbent fabric in the world, and no, this is not just a marketing tactic. Cotton is, in fact, highly absorbent and can retain up to 25 times its weight in water. Now, how is that important for you? When you wear a 100% cotton night suit, its moisture-wicking properties allow it to absorb sweat from your body, allowing for easier evaporation.

So say goodbye to waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. With Nap Story’s 100% cotton night suits, you can rest assured that not only will you enjoy airy nights, but you will also be free of the worries of skin irritation or rashes often caused by wearing synthetic nightwear.

Soothe Your Senses with Softness

The effect a good night’s sleep can have on us has been studied time and again. From its benefits for cognitive function to physical and mental health, the importance of restful sleep cannot be overstated. And what can be more facilitative to a deep sleep than a fabric that soothes your tactile senses?

To put it simply, cotton feels incomparably wonderful against the skin. Its soft, natural texture is not only incredibly gentle on the skin but is also hypoallergenic, making it an amazing choice for people with sensitive skin. Quite like a cup of hot cocoa or a soothing lavender scent signals your brain that it is time to rest, the calming sensorial experience of slipping into cotton nightwear can also signal your brain to wind down, adding a layer of psychological comfort to the humble fabric.

Durable, Low-Maintenance, and Long-Lasting

Unlike flimsy synthetic fabrics like nylon, cotton easily wins the race when it comes to durability. Its longer and smoother fibres are less likely to break or tangle, which helps in building resistance to the formation of pills. Unlike its synthetic counterparts, it is also less likely to generate any static, further preventing pilling.

Cotton nightwear is also easy to care for and is known to maintain its shape and softness without losing any texture, even after many washes, making it far more durable than its competitors. When you buy high-quality cotton nightwear, you are investing in a timeless piece that is going to last for many summer seasons to come, making it a much-needed item in your summer wardrobe.
