Sleep Better on Your Period: Tips for a Restful Night, Every Month đ
Â
We all know how important good sleep is.Â
But if you menstruate, youâll also know how periods can throw your sleep completely off track. From cramps and bloating to midnight leaks and general discomfort, the struggle is real. At Beddie, weâre obsessed with helping people sleep well, alwaysâand that includes during your period.
Hereâs how to sleep better during your cycle, and why upgrading your period care (like switching to a Hey Zomi reusable menstrual disc) can be the sleep hack you didnât know you needed.
Â
đ§ Why Period Sleep Feels So Off
Â
Your body is doing a lot during your periodâhormonal shifts, inflammation, even a drop in core temperature. All of this can make you more restless at night. Many people report difficulty falling asleep, lighter sleep, or even night sweats during their period. Add the worry of leaks or the discomfort of bulky pads and tampons, and itâs no wonder youâre tossing and turning.
Â
đď¸ Create a Sleep Sanctuary
Â
Your sleep environment matters even more when youâre feeling vulnerable and achy. Hereâs how to upgrade your setup:
Â
-
Choose breathable bedding like cotton or linen to wick away moisture and keep you cool. (Hi, we make those.)
-
Layer smartly with a mattress protector and consider darker sheets or a dedicated âperiod pillowcaseâ to ease stress about leaks.
-
Keep a heat pack or hot water bottle closeâgentle warmth helps ease cramps and tension.
𩸠Rethink Your Period Products
Â
This is where things can really change.
Many of us grew up thinking bulky pads or uncomfortable tampons were our only option. But thereâs a new era of period care designed to support sleep, movement, and comfortâand the Hey Zomi reusable menstrual disc is leading the way.

Why the Hey Zomi Disc is a Game-Changer for Sleep:
Â
âł 12-hour protection: Pop it in before bed and sleep through the night, no more 2am bathroom trips.
đ§âď¸ No strings attached: It sits internally right underneath your cervix, so thereâs nothing to feel or shift around.
đ Comfy AF: Designed to mould to your body and move with you, even when youâre curled up tight.
â¤ď¸ Mess-free period sex (if thatâs your thing): Enough said. đđ˝
Plus, it's reusable and planet-friendly, good for your body and the Earth.
Â
đ Listen to Your Body
Â
Sometimes, sleep disruption is your bodyâs way of saying âslow down.â Lean into it. Go to bed earlier if youâre feeling drained, and donât guilt yourself for needing more rest. Your period is a monthly invitation to slow down and care more gently for yourself.
Â
đ§ Hydrate & Nourish
Â
Cramping and bloating can be worsened by dehydration or poor diet. Staying hydrated, eating magnesium-rich foods (like dark chocolate or leafy greens), and limiting caffeine before bed can improve sleep and help your body regulate better throughout your cycle.
Â
đ¤ Final Thoughts: Your Period Shouldnât Own Your Night
Â
A good nightâs sleep during your period is possibleâwith the right bedding, gentle rituals, and modern period products like the Hey Zomi disc. You deserve to rest, recharge, and wake up feeling like yourselfâevery day of the month.
Sweet dreams!
