Sleep Tips for the Summer Heat

Now that summer is finally upon us and the night are warming up, it’s time to remember that the best night’s sleep can be a tad more difficult to achieve. If you don’t want to have to face an incredible electricity bill for running your air conditioner all night, or perhaps want to keep out all the nighttime bugs that tend to fly in through your open bedroom windows, here are a few tips to keep your night as restful as possible when the temperature starts to go up!

As the summer months come along, you may find yourself having trouble falling asleep at a reasonable hour.

Your Bedroom Shouldn’t Feel Like a Camping Tent!

Generally, we all sleep a little better when our bedrooms are on the cooler side. During the summer months, air conditioners, ceiling fans, cooling pillows and lighter-weight bedding fabrics tend to be at their most popular usage. However, rooms that are uncomfortably cold can be just as counterproductive to achieving restful sleep as an overly-hot room disruptive to sleep. For the average person, it is usually recommended to keep your sleeping area in the approximate temperature range of range of 65-69 degrees.

Readjusting Your Body’s Internal Clock for Summer Months

It isn’t just the change in seasonal temperature that dictates your summer sleeping habits. It’s easy to forget that as the weather warms up, the days are also growing longer — which plays a genuine part in your body’s own understanding of when it should be getting tired enough to rest. If you remain aware of that fact, you can change your habits a bit to readjust your body’s internal clock. For example, if you tend to stay out later during the summer, you’re inadvertently getting and getting more light exposure, which will effectively delay the time at which you start to feel sleepy. It’s always usually better to go to bed when you are sleepy rather than forcing yourself to get into bed when your body isn’t ready. During all times of the year, giving yourself an hour relax is important for the brain and body get into stress-free state that is more conducive to sleep. The summer’s long daylight hours can throw this practice into disarray if you’re not mindful of it.
