Here are a few tips on how to get a good sleep in hot weather:
1: Having a cold shower
Not many people like having a shower that is cold, however, during spells of hot weather a cold shower will help to lower your body temperature, ultimately helping you to sleep.
2: Air conditioning
You could use a fan to help keep the room mild and not too warm. If you feel that this isn’t working, you could put a bowl of ice in front of it, and this will create a cooler feel from the fan as it blows air.
3: Feet cooling
You could even try to cool your feet by sticking them in the bath, basin or bowl using cold water. This will help you to cool down.
4: Water
Make sure you are drinking plenty of water as this will help to keep the body hydrated and at a moderate temperature. Tip: Add ice often to give you a cold drink.
5: Windows
Keep them closed on days when it is hot: only during the day when there is a lot of heat as this will keep the house to a moderate temperature. In the evening, when it is cooler outside, you can open windows to keep a cool breeze running through the house.
So, when the temperatures are warm outside, you’ll have some tips on how to ensure you can keep your body at a cool temperature and sleep better.
