For elite athletes, performance isn’t built solely during intense training sessions or competitions—it’s also forged in the quiet, crucial hours of recovery. And central to that recovery is high-quality sleep. But for many athletes, especially in summer, restful sleep is often disrupted by overheating. That’s where Dagsmejan’s Stay Cool collection comes in, delivering cutting-edge sleepwear designed to regulate body temperature and help athletes—and anyone else who runs hot at night—sleep deeper and better.

Why Do Athletes Overheat at Night?

Athletes are known for having faster metabolisms, higher muscle mass, and more active circulatory systems, all of which contribute to greater heat production—even at rest. After a day of intense training or competition, the body remains physiologically “revved up” for hours, making it more prone to overheating during the night. Add summer heat, higher humidity, and the stress of upcoming events, and it’s no surprise that athletes often struggle to stay cool and sleep soundly.

Sleep deprivation or poor-quality sleep can severely impact physical recovery, cognitive performance, and even increase injury risk. That’s why more and more professional athletes are turning to science-backed solutions like Dagsmejan.

Dagsmejan Stay Cool: Sleepwear Engineered for Thermoregulation

The Stay Cool collection from Swiss sleepwear innovator Dagsmejan is built around one core idea: keeping your body in its optimal temperature zone throughout the night, so you can enjoy uninterrupted, restorative sleep—even in the heat of summer.

This is achieved through a high-performance blend of natural MicroLyocell fibers, derived from eucalyptus, that are superfine, breathable, and incredibly soft against the skin. These fibres have been engineered to offer:

  • Superior moisture management – wicking sweat away from the body and drying twice as fast as cotton
  • Exceptional breathability – releasing excess heat instead of trapping it, creating a cooling microclimate around the skin
  • Featherlight comfort – the ultrafine knit feels almost weightless, promoting freedom of movement and airflow

Crucially, Dagsmejan’s technology isn’t just clever design—it’s scientifically validated. Independent testing by academic sleep laboratories has shown that Dagsmejan’s cooling pajamas supports better temperature regulation and sleep quality. Sleep trackers and biometric data confirm that wearers fall asleep faster, wake up less often, and sleep more deeply.

“Every area is optimised in training, but sleep is the real base for my performance. Dagsmejan sleepwear has become an integral part of my sleep system since the first time I used it.”

Professional teams are integrating Dagsmejan into their recovery strategies as well:
