What should we do when the summer heat just does not make us sleep? Try these solutions to rest well regenerating from daily stress, without the help of the air conditioner.

Long live to cotton

First, choose a light pure cotton pajamas or nightdress, even a simple tank top or underwear, but never naked. The fabric helps to absorb sweat that can ruin sleep. Even the sheets must be made of cotton, preferably clear, so as to allow proper transpiration and air passage. And if the temperature really goes up drastically, close your sheets in bags and put them in the freezer, they will be ready for when you go to sleep.

Cooling off

A fresh or lukewarm shower induces sleep because it quickly lowers body temperature and frees the skin from sweat. Since the feet are particularly sensitive to heat, soaking them in warm or cool water helps to cool the whole body when a shower is not possible.

Read with little light

Turn off all the lights and if you are in the habit of reading before falling asleep, just one lighted bulb will suffice. Reading pleasantly accompanies sleep and makes you forget the heat. But as long as it is possible it is worth taking advantage of natural light and avoid touching the switch.

No to technology

Disconnect all possible devices, because transformers also produce energy. Place them far away from the bedside tables and the bedroom if you have to charge at night. You must not bring your computer to bed, because it overheats and transmits heat.

Comfort

If you sleep alone, lie down comfortably, avoid snuggling while keeping your arms and legs slightly open in order to reduce body heat and allow the air to better wrap you. Humans sleep better in a cool bedroom, the ideal temperature is 17 ° C. Open a window or buy a fan to increase the exchange of air. Alternatively, sleep in the coolest room in the house. During the day, it is better to close the windows and lower the shutters to prevent the heat from entering. It is recommended not to abuse with the air conditioner as it could cause muscle contractures and a cold.

During sleep the amount of heat produced by our body can vary according to the seasons. In summer, heat production redoubles and the mattress has its importance. In this regard, it is essential that the mattress lining is thermal and breathable. Marion has introduced a coating with innovative technology: AIR CONTROL Comfort System, a 3Space textile layer placed in the perimeter band of the covering mod. Olimpo, which facilitates the dispersion of moisture and ensures constant transpiration.

Exercise Practice

Exercise between three and six hours before going to bed. Among the various benefits of exercise, there is that of being a great ally to reconcile sleep, but it is important to let some time pass before going to bed, as practicing sport activates us and increases our body temperature.
