The reason why a lot of people sleep hot and coin themselves as hot sleepers has a lot to do with design. The body’s temperature while sleeping drops a couple degrees, shedding heat into the surrounding areas. Certain sheets trap heat and moisture in them causing you to become even hotter and therefore, a hot sleeper.
Do you sleep on a memory foam mattress? Or use a high-thread count bed sheet? You may want to re-think some of these choices. This may be making you a hot sleeper.
