Hydration is key during hot weather, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. However, try to avoid excessive fluid intake close to bedtime to prevent disruptions from frequent trips to the bathroom.

Creating a relaxing bedtime routine can also signal to your body that it’s time to wind down. Consider activities like reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation.

Limiting exposure to screens and artificial light before bedtime can also improve sleep quality. The blue light emitted by electronic devices can interfere with the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, so it’s best to power down devices at least an hour before bed.

By implementing these tips and prioritizing your sleep environment, you can beat the heat and enjoy restful nights even during the hottest summer nights.
