Sleep
Did you know that wearing merino to bed can actually improve your quality of sleep? Here’s what we know about this:
“The latest study conducted by researchers at The University of Sydney has found adults wearing wool sleepwear fell asleep in just 12 minutes compared with 22 and 27 minutes for those wearing polyester and cotton” (The Woolmark Company).
As we all know, wool helps your regulate body temperature. This keeps your body in what is known as ‘the thermal comfort zone’ for longer, which helps you fall asleep quicker and also have deeper sleep (The Woolmark Company).
A research paper published in the journal Nature and Science of Sleep (2016) said that a group from a study fell asleep in 11 minutes on average wearing merino wool versus 15 minutes on average in cotton (The Woolmark Company).
As a result of merino’s plethora of benefits (breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature regulating), studies have shown that babies who either wear merino wool or use a merino blanket for sleep get better quality sleep. As babies are learning to regulate their own temperature for the first time, merino provides comfort and promotes a good night’s rest.
