If you’ve woken up at 3 a.m. kicking off the covers, flipping your pillow to the cool side, or changing into a dry shirt, you’re far from alone. Half of women ages 45 to 64 say menopause disrupts their sleep, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and in the group’s 2025 survey, more than a third (35 percent) blamed hot flashes or night sweats. Falling estrogen affects how your body regulates temperature, so even a slight rise in body temperature can set off a flash that wakes you up.
You can’t change your hormones overnight, but you can change what you sleep in and on. From moisture-wicking pajamas and breathable sheets to a bed cooling system that keeps your mattress cool all night, these products can help you stay cooler, sleep longer and wake up rested.

Coop’s coolest pillow pairs a cool-to-the-touch cover with gel-infused memory foam fill, so it doesn’t trap heat. You can add or remove fill to get the height right, and it comes in three shapes: classic, crescent (for side and back sleeping) and cut-out (for dedicated side-sleepers).

This hormone-free daily supplement works from the inside and is made with curcumin, decaffeinated green tea extract and spirulina. It targets neurokinin B (NKB), a brain signal involved in hot flashes and night sweats, and in the brand’s clinical trials, 94 percent of women reported fewer of both after one month of use.

Most pajama sets trap heat with thick, heavy fabric, which is the last thing you need when a night sweat hits. These pajamas are the opposite, made of lightweight, breathable fabric that lets air move and helps regulate your temperature, so you stay cool instead of clammy. They’re also machine washable, which helps on nights when you change more than once.

These sheets give you that cool-side-of-the-pillow feeling, all night long. The fabric feels cold the moment it touches your skin—the brand says it tests cooler than silk, bamboo or cotton—and it wicks moisture, so a night sweat doesn’t leave you lying on damp sheets. Drew Barrymore is even a fan.

This hormone-free capsule targets both halves of the menopause-sleep problem. Red clover extract helps take the edge off hot flashes, and time-released melatonin, magnesium, L-theanine and GABA help you fall asleep and stay asleep.

Think of this silk mask as blackout shades for your face. The wide, padded design blocks out every bit of light, so if a hot flash wakes you at dawn, the sunrise won’t keep you up. As a bonus, the mulberry silk is gentle on skin and hair and helps prevent sleep creases.

This bath soak is built for winding down. Magnesium helps relax tense muscles, and L-carnitine and boron are added to calm a busy mind, so you’re more ready to fall asleep when you get into bed. Timing matters too: Because your body temp cools down after, research shows a warm (not hot) bath an hour or two before bed can help you fall asleep faster.
