The Burning Question – How to Sleep In Hot Weather?

As summer approaches, many of us will be looking forward to the warmer weather and longer days. Less welcome though, will be the stuffy nights that this seasonal increase in temperature can bring with it.

Indeed, overheating during the summer is a very common problem that can cause disrupted sleep, resulting in lethargy, tiredness and irritability the next day. Luckily, there is plenty that can be done to combat the hot weather and ensure you enjoy a great night. Read on to find out how to sleep in hot weather.

The Wrong Trousers

When the thermometer shoots up, you need to change your clothing accordingly. Instead of heavy fabrics like wool, opt for breathable and loose fitting clothing. Great options to beat the heat in summer are cotton, bamboo fabrics and silk

Windows of Opportunity

Cool air during the summer can be at a premium, so it’s vital to make the most of what little there is. In order to increase the air circulation in your room, it’s a good idea to open your bedroom window and door at night.

You don’t need to fling these open, a slight opening can make all the difference. Of course, if you do decide to open your windows, it’s important to ensure that your home remains secure. You should also endeavour to keep your curtains shut during the day to block out heat from the sun.

Did You Know? The ideal bedroom temperature is around 16 – 18 degrees Centigrade.

Fantastic

If external influences like over exuberant housemates and noisy pets prohibit you from opening your door during the night, fear not. A quiet electric fan can act as an effective alternative means of improving air circulation. And you can further add to the fan’s cooling properties by placing a couple of freezer chilled plastic drink bottles in front of the airy appliance.
