During the hot summer months, you may have trouble sleeping, especially during heat waves when temperatures are extremely high.

Even when night falls and the temperatures are a little lower, it can still be very warm, which can really affect sleep.

If you use conditioner, you may not have a problem with this. However, using the air conditioner every night during the summer can be quite an expensive solution.

Prevent sunlight from entering

Close windows and curtains during the hottest part of the day and when the sun's rays are strongest. In summer, this is most often between 12:00 and 16:30. This will prevent heat from entering your home.

VENTILATION

After the hottest part of the day has passed, open doors and windows to ventilate all rooms and circulate air throughout your home. This should remove any heat that has entered your home during the day. Avoid using ovens and stoves as they will accumulate extra heat.

Uji

Hydration is especially important in the summer, especially because we sweat a lot. Drink plenty of fluids before going to bed and you can also prepare a drink on the nightstand that you can take at night when you need it.

Forget about a cold shower

You may think that taking a cold shower before bed is a good idea, but it is counterproductive. The cold water will actually stimulate the blood in the body to regulate the temperature, so you'll actually feel hot when you're done showering, Popsci writes.

Light clothes

Wear light and airy clothes, and it is good to wear items made of cloth, bamboo and silk. The less synthetic fibers the clothes have, the better.
