1. Refresh the room
We often tend to open doors and windows when it is hot. It is not necessarily a good idea. Avoid letting heat enter.
To refresh your room, only open the windows during cooler hours (night and early in the morning) leaving the hangings and shutters closed. Watch out for critters: don’t forget the mosquito nets.

2. A good air current
A current of air can help you make the air of your room pleasant. Create it by opening doors and windows (at the aforementioned hours) or thanks to a fan.
Be careful, make sure that your fan does not bother the quality of your sleep because of the noise it emits. And above all, do not refer it to your face at the risk of waking up with a torticollis.

3. Sleep as close as possible to the ground
It’s well known: the heat rises! To find freshness in your home, get closer to the floor.
As far as possible, do not hesitate to descend from a floor to spend the night on the ground floor. Or put your mattress on the ground.
This may also be an opportunity to camp in your garden.
4. With or without pajamas?
Contrary to popular belief, sleeping without pajamas will not necessarily give you less hot.
Indeed, the body releases more heat when it remains bare. So don’t fall the shirt before bedtime. However, choose light pajamas light in natural fibers. As well as fine duvets and sheets.
As absurd as it may seem, keep your desires to sleep naked for winter.

5. Sleep alone
Bad news for fusional lovers: your spouse’s body acts as a real radiator overnight.
If you want to avoid all heat sources, you will also have to avoid it. Its temperature can only increase yours.
6. The ends remain outside
When you sleep, leave your face, hands and feet outside the duvet. This will allow you two things: evacuate a little of your body heat and capture the freshness of the room.
Use your cheeks, hands and feet as heat regulators.
7. Sleep goes through food
Your eating habits play on the quality of your sleep. When it’s hot, eat light for several hours before going to sleep.
Bad digestion will disturb your sleep. A latent hunger too! Eat balanced, neither too much nor too little.
Avoid drinking alcohol and sugary drinks. You should take care to stay well hydrated. Do not forget to consume water throughout the day.

8. A lukewarm shower before bedtime
Going to bed fresh and relaxed will help you sleep despite the heat. A good shower before bedtime is not negligible.
Be careful not to use water too cool. A lukewarm shower will refresh you more than a cold shower. Same note if you use a fogger.
9. Cut the electrical devices
The electrical devices present in your home may bother you by producing a release of heat, light and noise nuisance.
Log them away overnight and unplug them.
10. Avoid sport at the end of the day
Do not make intense physical efforts at the end of the day. Favor relaxing activities so as not to increase your body temperature.
