@itsmaggieperkins: This is not medical advice but…let me just say **I go back to sleep** when I wake up with high sweats **because** I am sleeping in 100% cotton. #perimenopause #perimenopausehealth
I cannot believe the gross polyester fabric pajamas are made of now.

Costco also has great cotton pjs sometimes. Also, get some Dr. Brommers magic balm with Arnica Menthol, rub on back of next and front of chest for a lasting cooling effect.

Oh. That may be why I suddenly wake up at all hours for no reason and then can’t sleep again. In AC, sleeping in a tank. 🫣

Cotton feels great, but holds on to moisture. I have switched to bamboo viscose pjs, and it’s a huge, huge improvement. They don’t feel wet on my skin when I sweat. I also like my cooling sheets.

So… if you can even WEAR pajamas to bed, you’re in another class. My night sweats and general temp sensitivity won’t even let me wear anything more than underwear and a bra to sleep in. Obv this may change as the weather cools. (I def wear a lot more to sleep in January.) But anything more than a bra and undies?! I could never.

Almay antiperspirant. It’s 25% aluminum. Put it on at night (works better than morning). Sure unscented spray for lower back and other bad places. It’s much milder. Prevents being soaked in sweat.

Finding cotton PJ’s is getting SO hard in stores these days. Same for sheets. If I touch another poly/plastic pajama set I will lose my mind 😭
