If you're feeling it too, then take a look at how well your bedroom is set up for getting the best sleep that you can this coming winter.
Best practice suggests that your nighttime bedroom should be dark, quiet, ventilated and cool. As the temperature outside drops at this time of the year, your room temperature will dip accordingly, but before you go to crank up the central heating, think about the fact that this financially and environmentally costly, as well as going against the concept of a cool bedroom.
A better solution is to adjust your bedclothes to provide you with a greater level of insulation. Provided your duvet can keep it in, your body provides all the heat that you need for a comfortable night's sleep, and having the room filled with fresh, cool air is better for you and leaves you more refreshed when you wake in the morning.
If you haven't considered it before, think about investing in a high grade natural duvet with a winter Tog value of 10 or more. Contrary to popular belief, a properly prepared goose-down duvet will present no problems for allergy-sufferers.
