Wearing blanket sleepers in the winter months may be normal to see from some adults. But when the weather gets hot, some adults may not feel like blanket sleepers are the way to go. Most will remove their sleeper and use something else. But instead of pulling it off entirely from your body, there are some other options you can try to keep from taking it off and still, in turn, can keep you cooler. This article can tell you those steps.

Steps

Modify your wardrobe on your blanket sleeper for summertime temperatures. With the exception being your normal underwear, consider wearing only your sleeper during these months and nothing else.

Unzip your blanket sleeper anytime you are wearing it. The cooler air can help keep your body slightly closer to normal air-temperature nearby. As long as the air has a large surface area to cover, this can help immensely.

Consider using an air conditioner in the room you will be wearing your blanket sleeper in. Let the cooling system focus on that room first, before the cooling must occur in any other part of the house. Use other cooling methods for kid's rooms, unless the cooling is a whole-house air conditioner. Make sure the thermostat on the air conditioner is down to a temperature that is as low as the thermostat can go to ensure the cold air will be chilly enough to keep you at normal room-temperatures. Consider closing off any doors that you may not be using at the current time. Even if you are in the room with the air conditioner, make sure all other doors that enclose the room can be closed most of the way or all the way.

Consider wearing lightweight cotton, ankle-high socks instead of any other style/any other full-length sock. These smaller sized socks can help wick away moisture from your feet. If you wear a sock that's any higher, the sock would hold in more heat and help your feet sweat, which can travel to your brain and cause the signals of "feet getting too hot" to become major signs. And if the blanket sleeper has Jiffy Grip-styled skidproof-bottoms, the socks can hold back the remainder of the moisture that will for sure accumulate at the bottom of the feet when you walk or do some activity that requires exertion on the feet.

Don't wear your blanket sleeper's hood if the garment contains one. Most of your body's heat gets lost through the head (or so scientists make us believe), so why would you want to add more layer of latent heat to your ensemble in the process, when you, in turn, want to reverse that and lose some heat?

Consider wearing a cotton t-shirt under your sleeper to soak up some of the sweat from your body. Again, cotton can help wick away moisture, and even if you're not used to wearing no shirts to bed, cotton can help become an intermediate mediator over not wearing an undershirt at all while still keeping your body cool.

Sleep on top of the sheets and blankets of your bed when you wear a blanket sleeper during the night when your body is "stable" from cooling and warming trends.
