Dave's Picks | The Best Heat-Wicking Sheets For Those Too-Hot Summer Nights

Summer is here. Did you know suffering is optional?

According to scientists and experts, to fall and stay asleep, the body's core temperature needs to drop by 1°C or 2°F. This helps you slip into sleep much more quickly and increases deep sleep by 10-20%. That's the non-REM, slow-wave sleep in which your brain waves slow down to allow your body to heal physically, giving you time to recover from illness and deal with daily stress. It's summer, it's hot, and the last thing you want to do at the end of the day is to climb into a bed of mucky sheets. Instead, stave off the night sweats with some cooling bedding!

Below are some of our favorite lightweight options for super cool nights to lull you into a deeply rewarding slumber.
