As the summer sizzle cranks up, restful sleep turns into a sweaty struggle for many. In most parts of the world, there are at least a few heat waves each year. When scorching heat occurs it has a negative effect on our sleep. Don’t just survive, thrive in summer slumber with these tips.

Embrace these game-changing tactics to ensure you catch Z’s, no matter how scorching it gets. From a refreshing cool-down shower to ice-cold foot baths, shedding those extra PJs, to ditching spicy suppers and late workouts. Top it off with twist: a pre-bed warm sip.

But wait, there’s more! The sleep whizzes put the spotlight on setting the perfect sleep arena. Handpick the chilliest room, swap heavy bedding for summer snuggles, send pets on a night vacation, tame your AC for ultimate coolness, and let your skin snuggle natural fiber sheets.
