Cooling the bedroom
When temperatures rise, keeping the bedroom cool is essential for sleep. Use lightweight, breathable bedding such as cotton or linen. Keep curtains drawn during the day to block sunlight, and open windows at night to let in cooler air.
Body cooling techniques
Before bed, take a lukewarm shower to lower your core temperature. Place a fan near an open window to create cross ventilation. Avoid heavy meals and caffeine close to bedtime. These strategies can promote restful sleep even on the hottest nights.
