Really hot in bed

[Candolim97]

I have a 10.5 tog duvet, window open, no radiators on. My bedroom doesn’t feel warm at all
Yet as soon as I get in bed I’m roasting

I’m not one of those people who is constantly hot during the day either

Are you menopausal?

Do you get hot during the day as well?

Any new medication?

(Has your DH secretly installed an electric blanket? )

Temperature was not what I expected to be reading about

Was expecting a completely different post then! What pjs are you wearing? And is it all the time because I always get too hot in bed for about 3 nights just before my period.

Ha

I’m only wearing a loose tshirt, not menopausal or on medication
Ohh but now that you mention it I’m roughly 3 days away from my period, I don’t remember feeling this hot before it in the past though - strange

I've found it quite hot in the evenings recently but I think it's to do with my heating which was on quite high all day. Husband feels the same. Drink more water.

Swap the quilt for a blanket or sheet.

Open the loft hatch to let the excess heat escape through the roof space.

Adjust the thermostat by a degree or two.

Drink loads of water

Your duvet is far too thick. We have a 4.5 tog all year round and it's plenty apart from the dead of winter. I'm currently roasting in an unheated room, but I am probably peri menopausal.

Also a 4.5 tog here all year round. Have a heavy blanket folded in a strip at the bottom which i tuck my feet under when I first get in! 4.5 is plenty and a window open here too. You can always pull the blanket up if it’s really cold. I’m also hot in the nights a few days to a week before my period.

I have a sheet between the duvet and cover and me. I kick the duvet off and keep the sheet on. That said I use a 4:5 tog all year round as well. I’m hot stuff!

@Candolim87 I hate to be one of those people, but, feeling hot at night was one of my first early preg symptoms... is there any chance you may be?

I have windows wide open, large glass of ice water by my bed, and a cold gel pad in my pillow case (kept in fridge all day).

But I’m 50 and menopausal!

I get extremely hot and sweaty in the few days before my period. Wake up in a wet patch with sticky hair and drenched night clothes.

I've always suffered with overheating in bed, and it does get worse in the week before my period. I'm early 40s so not quite menopausal but I suspect it'll get worse in the next few years. I get very hot when I exercise too (not overweight, fit and healthy), it's just a thing, my Dad is the same so possibly genetic.

My main tips are to wear very little in bed and invest in a wool duvet (Google it) which has made a massive difference to me maintaining a regular temp in bed.

Do you have a memory foam mattress by any chance? I tried one for a few nights but kept waking up in a hot sweat and had to get rid of it.

Possibly pregnant or coming down with something

I have suffered this since I was in my 20s. Insomnia is the cause. I have a 4 tog in winter, a 1 tog in summer. Dh has his own. A fan by bed. Sometimes I escape to sofa. Gel pillow.

I can lie shivering on sofa covered in blankets in eve. Soon as i am in bed I start cooking. It's annoying as cuddles make me too hot

We've had the heating on more as we're off work and upstairs has felt boiling hot to me. Last night I was so hot I went up to the attic, where the heating is off with the thermostat turned right down. I was still baking then realised my period is due.

4.5 tog duvet all year round here. Dressing gown over the top if it gets really cold. And I'm quite a chilly mortal. If I had a 10.5 tog duvet I'd be absolutely on fire.
