With rising temperatures, sleeping at night naturally becomes more difficult, leading to sleep disturbances. There are tricks you can use to achieve restful sleep during this season, as published in Doctissimo. What tricks can you resort to for a good night's sleep on hot days?
- **Taking a Lukewarm Shower**: You should shower with lukewarm water before bed. This helps refresh the body without causing shock. Additionally, lowering body temperature aids in easier sleep.
- **Staying Hydrated**: It's crucial to hydrate regularly. Therefore, keeping a water bottle by the bed at night is essential.
- **Choosing the Right Bed Covers**: Sleeping can be challenging if you choose bed covers made from materials that cause sweating. Opt for soft cotton bed covers and avoid thick ones.
- **Maintaining Fresh Air in the Room**: When the heat isn’t suffocating, it's better to forgo cooling and open the windows to allow fresh air into the room. You can open windows that face each other in the evening or at night to let natural air in.
- **Using an Air Conditioner**: An air conditioner should be used in the room. You can place a bottle of cold water in front of the AC to obtain more refreshing air in the room.
- **Keeping Windows Closed During the Day**: Windows and curtains should be closed during the day to prevent hot air from entering. They should be closed immediately after opening in the early morning for ventilation to maintain a good level of coolness inside.
- **Eating a Light Evening Snack**: Consume light foods in the evening, focusing on foods rich in water like vegetables, fruits, and cold soup. These water-rich foods help keep the body hydrated to the maximum.
- **Regular Refreshing**: Before bedtime, you can take a lukewarm shower, but you can also moisturize the body with damp cloths to ensure a refreshing and pleasant night. This helps ensure maximum refreshment on hot days.
