High temperatures can cause discomfort and attract mosquitoes, making your sleep routine difficult. Find out how to beat the heat
Even though summer is one of the favorite periods for Brazilians, the heat can cause discomfort throughout the day and especially before going to sleep, with stuffy rooms in the house and the arrival of mosquitoes with their annoying buzzing.
To alleviate these inconveniences a little, Anna NiemiecPhD in chemistry and head of research and development at Industrial Reckittbrand manufacturer SBPlists some tips to make your nights sleep more peaceful on hot days.
Keep the room ventilated and cool
Room temperature, as well as low lights, are essential for good sleep. According to research published in 2023 in the journal Science of The Total Environment, The ideal room temperature for an adult is up to 25ºC, with a drop in sleep efficiency of 5% to 10% when the temperature rises to 30°C. Therefore it is important to leave doors and windows open during the day so that the air inside the house can circulate. Air conditioning and a fan can be allies to cool the environment, as well as keep the house clean.
Repel mosquitoes
In summer, mosquitoes can be annoying and compromise the quality of sleep, as they tend to cause discomfort due to ringing in the ears and bites on the skin. To keep the room free from mosquitoes, Semi-open room repellents help expel them from the environment – just plug them in and leave an open space for the mosquitoes to escape.
For those who suffer most from bites, body repellents can make a difference. It is possible to find the Electric repellents suitable for rooms with children from 6 months of age. Already the Body repellents have versions that can be applied to children from 2 months of age.
Take a bath
In addition to being comfortable and hygienic, a good hot or cold shower before going to bed can help regulate body temperature and improve blood circulationmaking it easier to fall asleep.
Choose light clothing
On very hot days, wearing any item of clothing becomes much more difficult. Therefore, give preference to lightweight fabrics, such as cotton, and tank tops. For those who cannot sleep without a blanket, forget about duvets and choose light sheets or blankets that do not restrict movement and allow the skin to breathe.
Stay hydrated
When it’s hot, the body tends to produce more sweat, which can cause dehydration. Drink plenty of water throughout the dayto refresh and keep the body hydrated, as well as keeping a bottle next to the bed, in case it is needed during the night.
