Last year, when temperatures skyrocketed seemingly overnight, I really struggled to get a good night's sleep. Normally, I'm lucky. I don't have a problem drifting off in the other seasons, but with a carpeted bedroom and only a small window for breeze, I did struggle to sleep in the heat when summertime came.
This year, as soon as I spotted the bank holiday weather forecast, I knew things had to be different. I was armed with a cooling fan and a good duvet (thank you, winter sales!), but packed away the latter after I spotted advice from clinical sleep therapist and high-performance sleep coach, Natalie Pennicotte-Collier.
