Why do many people find it easier to fall asleep if they put one leg out from under the covers?

  • Under the blanket the temperature rises, and it becomes more difficult for the body to “cool down”.

  • The open foot acts as a natural cooling “valve”.

    • A gentle flow of cool air around your feet creates a feeling of comfort without allowing you to overheat.


     Tips for better sleep

    • Maintain the temperature in your bedroom at around  18–20°C  – this is optimal for sleep.

    • Use breathable bedding and natural fabrics.

    • Before going to bed, you can take a warm bath: when you get out, your body will begin to cool down quickly, which will enhance the effect of relaxation.


     Conclusion:  If you’re having trouble falling asleep, try simply sticking one leg out from under the covers. This little trick helps your body cool down faster and fall into deep sleep.
