8 tips for sleeping in the summer heat

in #life6 years ago

We all love the summer. The hot days, the endless blue horizon when we are on the beach, and the summer evenings with their cool freshness reveal amazing opportunities for outdoor entertainment.
The bad comes afterwards when you decide to go to bed. The summer night's heat prevents sleep and breaks sleep at night.
According to a number of studies, sleeping at high temperatures in the room is not beneficial and prevents the body from resting at night. The body can not shake the stress of the day, so in the morning you wake up tired and unsteady.

Sleeping on an air conditioner is also not a good option, even less causing a draft in the bedroom. When you are relaxed, the strong cold air jet can cause you a number of health problems.

What can you do to turn the summer hot nights into a lesser problem for your healthy sleep?

Take a cool shower just before going to bed

To lower the temperature of your body by a few tenths, which is important for good sleep, take a bath with cool water. Lie down immediately. You will feel how fast you start to drift off.

Keep the sunblinds or blinds down during the day

If the exposure of your bedroom is south or west, it will be much hotter than the other rooms in the dwelling. The sun's sunshine to the last before sunset bakes the wall and makes the sleep in this room painful, sometimes impossible.

To keep the bedroom a little cooler, keep the sunblinds or blinds if you have them down during the day. If you do not have it, mount it - it will help you greatly.

Use pillows filled with buckwheat

Strange as it sounds, such pillows exist and they have a beneficial effect on sleep. Buckwheat is a material that is used to fill pillows because it does not retain moisture, prevents mites and other microscopic insects and allergens.

It keeps cool, unlike artificial silicone filling or natural bird feathers. That's why it's a much better option than them. In addition, small grains massage the scalp and neck, thus stimulating blood circulation.

Use a silk pillow case

Silk is a natural material that keeps cool during the night. Put your pillow in silk. Also use silk sheets and bed covers.

Sleep alone

Lapping in the partner makes the night even hotter. No matter how difficult it is to rip you apart, you have to do it at least on the hottest nights of the year. You do not have to sleep on separate beds, just distract slightly, so do not touch. Heat exchange between your bodies also interferes with sleep.

Put the cover in the freezer

Shortly before going to bed, put your cover in the freezer for half an hour. After cooling down, it will make you much more comfortable to fall asleep while it emits a cool chill.

Take the bed

Sunlight falls directly onto your bed, turn it over. A little summer shift will not affect you badly. And the rays will not wake you up early in the morning before the alarm.

Spray your face

Use a spray bottle to spray your face before bedtime. This creates an extra cooling feeling that relaxes and helps you fall asleep. You can use thermal water, rose water or plain cold water.
