A comfortable sleep environment can certainly support better sleep, but these broader health claims aren’t supported by strong scientific evidence.
How to Do It Safely
To avoid moisture problems, follow a few simple guidelines:
- Use only slightly damp sheets. They should feel barely damp—not wet.
- Ensure good airflow. Open a window or run a fan if needed so the sheets dry completely.
- Let them dry fully. Wait until they’re completely dry before adding blankets, comforters, or decorative pillows.
- Avoid the method in humid environments. If your home is already humid, it’s better to dry the sheets completely in the dryer.
