'How am I meant to sleep in the heat?': Some tips

Currently in many countries people are saying ...

'Phew! How am I meant to sleep in this heat?'

Getting a good night's sleep when temperatures are high is difficult but not impossible.

There are ways to make it easier. Here are some tips based on expert advice:

• No napping – We know you feel lethargic, but in the heat sleepiness can be precious. Save it for bedtime
• Keep to routines – Don't throw it all out the window just because it's hot. Do the things you normally do before bed
• Remember the basics – Draw the curtains or blinds during the day. At night, open all the windows before you go to bed to get a breeze through your home
• Use thin sheets – Reduce your bedding but keep covers handy. However, hot it is in your bedroom, your body temperature will fall during the night. That is why we sometimes wake up feeling cold
• Use a fan and chill your socks – It sounds odd, but put a pair of socks in the fridge and wear them in bed. Cooling your feet lowers your overall temperature.
