2. Make sure you are cool before going to sleep when it is hot

If you are already overheated before you go to bed, you will not cool down once you are in bed. Take a shower that is not too hot beforehand or run cold water over your wrists to cool down. A cold washcloth on your forehead or a foot bath can also help to cool down.

3. Wear pajamas anyway

You may not want to think about wearing pajamas in the heat, but pajamas made of a thin natural fabric can actually help your body to cool down.

4. Lie wide

By lying with your arms and legs spread, you ensure that you are less bothered by your own body heat. Don't cuddle up to your partner.

5. Turn on the fan or air conditioning

Do you have a fan or air conditioning? Use it. Just the idea of ​​air being blown through the bedroom will help you sleep better.

6. Turn off other devices

Appliances and lamps produce heat. Therefore turn off everything you are not using.
