If you don't already sleep in wool, we highly reccomend it for all ages and stages of life.
From newborns to adults, merino wool has been scientifically proven to improve sleep quality and length due to its ability to thermo-regulate, wick away moisture, and insulate.
According to a recent study, most sleep disturbances are a result of disrupted thermal environment, caused by the body temperature of the sleeper being disrupted because it can't regulate with the pysical environment. This disruption is most likely caused by wearing fossil oil-based fabrics such as polyeester, acrylic and nylon which prevent the body's ability to regulate.
Sleeping in wool, has the opposite effect. Wool is made of keratin, which is the same fibre as human hair. For this reason, it can help regulate body temperature, reducing risk of overheating yet keeping you cosy when it is cool. Wool pyjamas help wick away sweat, regulating the body temperature and providing enough insulation to keep their body warm and comfortable throughout the night (and day).
If you or your child find yourselves waking in the night and still feeling a little chilly, try adding a pair of wool socks. The difference this can make to your sleep is incredible.
