I made a DIY bug screen to stop mosquitoes getting into my bedroom at night – it’s the best £10 I’ve spent this summer

A DIY mosquito screen made with Velcro tape and fly mesh cut to size.

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that it’s been warm at night recently, although, thankfully, July has seen cooler overnight temperatures than we saw during the tropical nights of the June heatwave.

That means that as long as you can open your bedroom windows at night, a cooler sleep is available. And as I've learnt in my five years as Ideal Home's Sleep Editor, when it comes to sleeping better, a cooler sleep tends to go hand in hand with a deeper, more restorative sleep.
