Expert reveals six simple hacks to keep warm in bed and save money on chilly nights
Those who feel uncomfortable wearing lots of layers to bed at night should keep warm, thick clothes on their bedside table to grab in the night in case of any midnight cold spells.If your bed is near a window, even if it is double glazed, the cold from outside can seep through and affect your sleep.To warm yourself before bed time, get into the routine of having a warm milky drink in the evening.
Not only will the drink warm you from the inside, but milk contains tryptophan which helps the body prepare for sleep.Once it gets dark outside, shut your blinds and curtains to keep warmth in, in the hours leading up to your bedtime. When it comes to turning the heating on, if possible keep it to your bedroom only - and make sure all doors are closed with no drafts from other areas of your home.
This way, when it comes to getting into bed you will have a heated room to enhance your night’s sleep.The heat created from the water bottle can also aid a relaxing night’s sleep, as the warmth circulates blood flow and improves blood flow around the body. Try also placing it into your bed while you have a shower and get ready to sleep, as it will warm up your mattress and duvet ready for you to jump in and head off to sleep.
