Drew Barrymore Reveals the Surprising Sleeping Position She Discovered During Pregnancy and Still Uses

Drew Barrymore gave birth to her two daughters over a decade ago, but her current sleeping position is one she discovered while pregnant.

“I sleep with a body pillow like I’m still pregnant!” the actress and talk show host, 49, tells PEOPLE.

Barrymore, who knows how important quality sleep is, teamed up with Rest in November as the bedding brand’s official Sleep Wellness Advocate.

“Being a mom, a businesswoman and someone whose mind is constantly working can seem not only challenging, but impossible,” she said. “I used to toss and turn all night or stay up staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep.”

Barrymore continued: “Recently I’ve become a bit of a hot sleeper (thanks hormones), which is really affecting how well I sleep and whether I can make it through the night without waking up. Or if I do, can I ever go back to sleep.”

The mum-of-two – who shares daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10, with ex Will Kopelman – revealed that chilling out in the cold environment was a “game changer”.

“I’ve always preferred to sleep in a cooler room, but using cooling bedding made my sleeping environment absolutely perfect,” she said. “It sets me up to achieve a deeper and more restful sleep.”

The The Drew Barrymore Show host said she’s “never slept better” since taking naps under the brand’s Evercool Cooling Comforter.

In fact, Olive and Frankie “started stealing my comforter and wouldn’t stop fighting over it, so I had to get them their own sets,” she added.

After the girls go to bed, Barrymore unwinds with a relaxing bedtime routine.

“I always have a pile of reading on my nightstand, so if I have it in me, I might read a bit before I turn out the lights. If not, good night to all the cats and Douglas [her dog]I close my eyes and practically sleep until my head hits the pillow,” she explained.

Barrymore said it is necessary to prioritize sleep as well as diet or exercise.

“We can’t be our best without a good night’s rest,” she advised. “Ask any cranky baby — or grown-up! Quality sleep is essential. It affects us mentally and physically, our well-being and our overall health. It affects how we present ourselves to the world.”
