With the glorious sunshine continuing, we are relishing the days out and balmy evenings spent with friends and family. But at the end of a day in the warm sun, we know that sometimes a sleepless night can follow. Make the most of hotter days without worrying about a restless night thanks to our Deep Sleep saviours and our expert tips.


What the sleep experts say
Sleep is essential not only for good health and well-being but also for survival. Just one night of lost sleep can have a negative impact on both physical and mental well-being. High temperatures in the bedroom (above 22 degrees) can cause restlessness, ideally the temperature of your room should mirror your biological rhythm - decreasing during the evening and increasing in the early morning. So if you've felt sleep deprived lately, this could be the reason!

Our top tips for sleeping in the heat:
 
keep clothing cool
Wearing light cotton nightwear can actually be better than wearing nothing at all (although we wouldn't judge), as natural fabrics will absorb any perspiration. We'd even recommend putting your socks in the fridge or freezer before settling down for bed as it helps to regulate the temperature of your body, leaving you and your feet feeling cooler and allowing you to sleep more soundly.
 
eat a light dinner
Eating a heavy meal (especially carbohydrate-heavy) before bed can create extra heat as your body tries to burn it off. This is why you should eat more earlier in the day in order to have a lighter meal at dinner, making salad a great choice.
 
keep the heat out
Trust us, we love natural light as much as you do. However, keeping curtains and blinds open throughout the day means that the warm direct sunlight can heat up your room, try closing them before the sun gets too hot to create a cooler atmosphere when you go to bed.
