Caption: Tips and tricks for sleeping in the heat. Dan Fabian, sleep health expert and founder of Ten PM, has shared his tips for getting a good night's sleep in the heat. Keep your bedroom cool Close doors, windows and your blinds to keep out the heat from the sun. Blackout blinds or curtains can be particularly effective. ”The ideal temperature for sleep is around 18 degrees, so if you have air conditioning set it to a comfortable temperature that will help induce sleep.” Use breathable bedding Avoid heavy blankets and polyester material. ”This also goes for your clothing - good quality, cotton pyjamas will help keep your temperature regulated.” Avoid electronics Keeping all electronics out of your bedroom will help to keep the room cool and help your mind to switch off. "Try reading a book, meditating, journaling or another activity that will relax the mind before bed.” Stay hydrated Your body can lose up to 1 litre of water when you sleep, so keeping hydrated is super important. “Avoid alcohol and caffeine as these can dehydrate the body and also cause issues with sleep.” Be aware of your diet Opt for light, easy-to-digest snacks, such as fruit, nuts, or yoghurt before bed. “It’s crucial to maintain a consistent eating schedule. Irregular eating patterns can disrupt your body's natural sleep-wake cycle, making it challenging to fall asleep and stay asleep.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
