Sleeping well in summer – easier said than done!
The most important thing when it's hot: keep the air in your bedroom cool and dry. The ideal temperature is 16 to 18 °C.
The following tips also promote a restful night:
- Don't eat too much or too late in the evening.
- Drink enough.
- Exercise makes the body tired, but not directly before going to bed (allow yourself at least 1 hour break).
- Add calm to your evening ritual – yoga, meditation or mental training prepare you for a good night's sleep.
- Wear breathable, thin cotton nightwear.
- Keep the sleeping environment quiet and provide insect protection.
- Avoid electronic devices in the bedroom.
If nothing helps, it is better to get up and read a book, for example. In any case, you should avoid the smartphone, computer or TV. The blue light simulates daylight and makes you wake up again.
