hot sleeper
Nighttime heat generator
A hot sleeper is someone who tends to overheat while sleeping, often waking up sweaty or kicking off blankets.
The term appears frequently in bedding marketing, where cooling mattresses and moisture-wicking sheets target hot sleepers: I'm a hot sleeper, so I need breathable sheets.
The opposite is a cold sleeper.
