HOW TO GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP IN THIS IS HOT AS HELL HEAT

If you are finding it hard to sleep, it might be time for you to say good morning to merino wool.

Sleep deprivation causes lots of different problems, reducing productivity and increasing mistakes in the workplace and at home.  Meditation and cutting caffeine intake can of course help, but did you know that merino wool is thought to help equally as well?

#1 Wool is thermal-regulating

With the ability to retain 35% of its own weight in moisture, merino wool allows the body to stay dry and never get too hot or too cold.  This means merino wool can be great in the summer months too.  

#2 Wool can soothe you to sleep

The soothing power of wool means that those trying to achieve shut-eye can get 25% more restorative sleep that they would with other fabrics. 

#3 Merino wool Is good for when things get physical

 Because of wool’s ability to effectively manage moisture, odour-causing bacteria don’t have the moist environment they need to thrive. You can wear wool during intense activity and over extended periods of time without having to worry about odour. 

#4 Merino wool is not itchy

Merino wool assists those suffering from chronic skin conditions, and challenges misconceptions that wool is ‘prickly’ and ‘itchy’. Wool is infamous for being an itchy fabric. Merino wool, however, is a different story. Merino wool can ditch the itch thanks to its fibre’s smaller diameter or being “finer”. These fibres are more flexible and softly bend when pressed against the skin and, therefore, don’t itch like other wool.

#4 Merino wool is breathable

Merino wool fibres are extremely fine, enabling them to bend far more than traditional, coarser wool fibers. These fibers can absorb large quantities of moisture vapor then move it away to evaporate into the air. For this reason, Merino wool blankets are extremely breathable and less prone to clamminess.
