Choosing the best summer pajamas can be the difference between a good night’s rest, and tossing and turning all night. This is especially true in the scorching summer months when we naturally lose sleep. Thanks to the hotter and longer days, data shows that, on average, we lose more than an hour of sleep per week in the summer.
So, what should you consider when choosing between the best summer pajamas for women? Made of light, breathable materials, these sleepwear options will have you dreaming of bedtime (even more than usual).
