Getting enough sleep is a vital need for everyone. The human body needs to sleep in order to sharpen energy and cope with the demands of life.
As temperatures rise, especially in the summer, sleep becomes a real "nightmare" for a large number of people, even though they go to bed early.
However, this "seasonal" situation can be dealt with by relying on seven simple and effective steps, according to the German site "Maennersache".
1. Good ventilation
The German site says that enjoying a good sleep requires a good ventilation of the bedroom, in order to keep it as cool as possible. He added that the windows must be opened in the morning and closed afterwards and left the room dark.
A previous Dutch study has confirmed the need to leave the windows and doors of the room open at sleep, because it helps to reduce levels of carbon dioxide and improve ventilation and airflow, according to Reuters.
2 - Choose suitable clothes
Choosing bedding covers and comfortable clothes is also important for a good sleep. Light cotton clothes help absorb sweat while you sleep, and you should avoid sleeping naked to avoid feeling cold.
3 - Avoid eating at night
Refraining from eating late in the day is also necessary for sleeping in an intermittent manner. In the evening, only snacks, such as salads, fruits, vegetables, yogurt and cheese, are preferred.
4. Do not drink too much
Drinking plenty of water is very important for the body, but at night and before going to sleep, you should avoid drinking water because it increases the desire to urinate significantly. To overcome this situation, the site is advised to drink a cup of green tea.
5 - warm bath
It is best to stay away from a cold bath before going to sleep and make up with a warm bath, because it is very suitable for sleeping.
6 - Stay away from sports at night
In the summer and with warm temperatures, you prefer not to exercise before going to sleep, and do so at other times of the day.
7. Avoid electronics
Watching movies and serials until late at night is one of the most difficult things to get a good deal of sleep. Electronic and electrical devices raise the temperature of the bedroom.
Blue light, for example, from mobile phone screens, has a negative impact on sleep. Therefore, it is preferable to stay away from electronic devices as much as possible in the hours before sleep.
