Hot weather: how to sleep in a hot, stuffy room

Because it is a little early to start sleeping with air conditioning, try the following hacks that will help you get a fantastic night’s sleep.

You sweat, you turn around and find an excellent spot in bed, you lose your sleep. You love summer, but this unbearable heat that causes the even more excruciating, irritating evening sweat can not stand.

One solution is to turn on the air conditioner, but if you start now to get used to the icy atmosphere created by the air conditioner, you are lost. On the other hand, you can’t melt like a candle every night. The heat has exhausted you. The following moves will improve the situation.

Tips to sleep without sweating

Eat lightly

Foods rich in fat or fried or spicy will only be able to raise your body temperature vertically, in addition to adding unnecessary calories. So prefer to eat a light meal about two to three hours before bedtime.

Avoid alcohol

In addition to fatty foods, alcohol will raise your temperature, while overconsumption will cause you all the side effects of a hangover, from headaches to sweat.

Moisturize

Make sure you drink enough water during the day, about 8 to 10 glasses, so that your body is hydrated to feel fabulous from the inside out. Do not make the mistake of consuming too much water before bed because you will constantly get up during the night to urinate.

Take a shower

To lower your body temperature, do not bathe in the cold but lukewarm to warm water.

Prefer cotton fabrics

Unlike synthetics, cotton fabrics allow the skin to breathe while keeping the heat away. Do prefer both kinds of cotton on the sheets and pillowcases, as well as on the clothes/underwear you sleep with.

Insulate the house

During the day, lower the awnings (if you have them) and close the shutters and curtains so that the sun does not enter and warm the spaces. It is essential to have well ventilated first thing in the morning when you wake up all the rooms.

If you have a dehumidifier, let it work

The combination of heat and humidity is the worst. So if you have a dehumidifier, place it in the bedroom for a few minutes before going to bed to absorb moisture and create a clean atmosphere.

If you have a floor fan, try this trick here

Fill a shallow bowl with ice and place it in front of the fan. The coolness that will be created is impressively soothing to fall asleep in the most fantastic way.

If you continue to lose your sleep from the heat and sweat even with all the above, it goes without saying that you stop educating and turn on the air conditioner. Ensure it does not hit you in the face or body and is set at an average temperature of 25 to 28°C to perform better, but mainly to not get cold.
