Too hot to sleep

One of the main reasons why people don’t like summer is that the weather is very hot. With global warming, the temperature in summer is getting higher and higher, which makes people unbearable. The number of cases of death from heat is also increasing year by year. Sleeping at night is a big problem because the summer nights are very hot, which can make some people unable to sleep due to the heat. What should they do at this time?

Use ice cubes to cool down.

Try to use air conditioning as little as possible in the summer. If you don’t have air conditioning at home, it doesn’t matter. If you can’t sleep at night because it’s too hot, you can freeze some ice cubes in the refrigerator, put them in the room, and then blow them with a fan. As the ice cubes slowly melt, the temperature in the room will slowly drop.

In addition to freezing ice cubes, you can also freeze the pillowcase slightly, which will make you more comfortable when sleeping.

Rinse your feet with cool water.

If the human body is too hot in summer, the blood tends to be concentrated in the feet. At this time, you can rinse your feet with slightly cool water, and you will soon feel more comfortable. However, do not use groundwater or other too cold water to wash your feet, as this will cause your feet to get cold and easily induce limb artery spasm, arthritis and rheumatism. Special attention should be paid to patients with coronary heart disease, hypertension, rheumatism, asthma and other diseases who should not wash their feet with cold water.

Use a cool mat or linen sheets.

When sleeping, try to use a soft mat or linen sheets, which will make you feel cooler when sleeping on them. Remember to wipe it with a wet cloth more often every day, especially before going to bed, so that you will feel cooler and sleep more comfortably.

Take a hot shower.

If you can't sleep because it's too hot at night, you can take a hot shower. Note that it should be hot water. A cold shower will not only not make you feel cool, but your body will feel even hotter. When taking a cold shower, the water temperature is too low and the human body will feel cold, which can easily lead to accelerated heartbeat, increased blood pressure, muscle contraction, nervous tension, etc. It will not only fail to eliminate fatigue, but also easily cause a cold.

Draw the curtains in the room in the afternoon to cool down the room.

When the sun is very strong during the day, you should draw the curtains in the afternoon so that the room will not be so hot. Of course, it is good for the room to be exposed to the sun, and you can open the windows in the morning for ventilation and sun exposure. You can draw the curtains tight when taking a nap in the afternoon so that you will sleep more comfortably at night.

6. In terms of diet, you can eat a cucumber, or drink some watermelon, yogurt, etc. before going to bed.

Although it is not advisable to eat before going to bed, the summer is hot and unbearable, so you can eat some cucumbers, watermelons, yogurt, etc. to clear away heat and cool yourself down. Be careful not to eat too much, especially watermelon. Some people with weak spleen and stomach cannot eat too much watermelon, otherwise they will have diarrhea. Yogurt is rich in nutrients. If you drink it at night, make sure to keep it in the refrigerator to avoid spoilage.
