We've had a lot of heatwaves this year, with another on the way, and one of the things they may have revealed to you is how well your home handles the heat. In particular, how well your bedroom copes with extremes of temperature.
What you might not have realised – and I certainly didn't until a series of house moves meant I spent time living in a new build flat, a 1950's semi, an apartment in a high-ceilinged Georgian property that was impossible to keep warm in winter but cool and comfortable in summer, and a modern semi-detached house that was cosy in cold weather but quickly overheated in summer – is that the type of house you live in can have a big impact on your sleep.
