Cooling Down for the Nights:
Beat the Heat for Better Sleep
“The average individual devotes approximately one-third of their life to sleeping. Sufficient sleep is advantageous for replenishing physical vitality, rejuvenating the mind, and promoting overall health and productivity in the body.”
As the world now prepares to bid farewell to the cold season, we now come to the advent of the two awaited seasons - Spring and Summer months. This is the season when flowers bloom and people hit the gym and the yoga mats to prepare for that much-awaited beach trip.
Resistance training, weight lifting, cardio work, and diet go hand-in-hand with achieving that “summer bod” everybody wants.
Spring, Summer, and the Heat
However, we must take into consideration that sleep isn’t a commodity that is easy to get during the hot seasons.
Recent years have shown high-temperature weather characterized by high frequency, high intensity, and long duration, posing challenges for achieving a good night's sleep.
High temperatures can cause thermal discomfort, even at night, affecting our core body temperature and quality of life.
Furthermore, it suppresses appetite due to food intake regulation being a mechanism of thermoregulation.
According to the Sleep Foundation, bedtimes in summer tend to average 11 minutes later than at other times of the year, significantly impacting the total time of sleep quality every spring or summer time.
Ensuring High-Quality Sleep During Hot Summer Nights
How do we ensure high-quality sleep during these hot times?
Here are top tips for creating and maintaining a comfortable sleeping environment:
-
Proper Ventilation
Ensure good airflow by opening windows or using a fan to circulate air, helping to disperse hot air and welcome a cooler environment into the bedroom.
-
Temperature Control
Set the thermostat to the ideal temperature, between 60-67 degrees Fahrenheit (15-19°C), as recommended by sleep experts for optimal sleep quality.
-
Block Out Heat
Use blackout curtains or blinds to prevent sunlight from entering the room during hot periods, especially in the afternoon and evening. This helps to minimize heat buildup inside the room.
4. Limit Electronics
Reduce heat emissions and sleep disruptions by minimizing the use of electronic devices such as TVs, computers, and smartphones in the bedroom, especially before bedtime.
5. Hydration
Stay hydrated throughout the day, but avoid consuming excessive fluids close to bedtime to prevent frequent bathroom trips that can disrupt sleep.
6. Nighttime Rituals
It's a good idea to take a cold shower or bath before bed to lower body temperature and promote relaxation. Additionally, consider a relaxing bedtime routine; deep breathing, or meditation to help cool both the body and mind.
7. Adjust Bedding Items
Use lightweight, breathable sheets and blankets made from natural fibers like cotton or bamboo to promote airflow and regulate body temperature.
8. Use Cooling Accessories
Invest in cooling pillows, mattress toppers, or mattress pads infused with gel or other cooling materials to regulate body temperature and promote a cooler sleep surface.
