Sleeping in Summer Heat

The 90+ degree days are upon us, which means there's plenty of time to be spent outside. This also means you are going to worn down a lot quicker and feel the need to hit the pillow earlier every night. However, when it's so warm and you don't want to crank the air conditioning, how can you possibly fall asleep?! Here are some ways to help you sleep comfortably in the summer heat.

1. Keep your windows and shades closed during the day. At night, open as many as possible.
2. Change your sheets to materials that retain less heat. Light colored, lightweight cotton is a perfect example for this.
3. Adjust fans to run counter-clockwise to pull the hot air up.
4. Wear loose-fitting clothes. Or don't wear any clothes at all.
5. Take a cool shower right before bed.
6. Sleep on lower levels.


These six tips will help you sleep comfortably in the summer heat. You will find the best way possible for you to sleep, whether it is taking a shower, having lighter sheets or adjusting the fans. Happy sleeping!
