Sleep expert recommends duvet hack often used in other countries apart from UK

We're not always used to the warmer weather here in Scotland, so when it does come we often find it hard to sleep.

There are several tricks for making it easier to drift off, including eating certain foods. Now sleep experts have recommended a trick that is often used in other countries, reports the Mirror.

James Wilson, also known as the Sleep Geek, has revealed a hack he swears by. According to him, when the weather heats up you should ensure you and your partner have seperate duvets

Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, James explained: "If you have a partner, sleep with two duvets instead of one. Usually in Northern European countries, like Denmark or Norway, couples have two duvets, so each person has their own when sleeping.

"They think we in the UK are bonkers - why would you share a duvet? If you're a hot sleeper, laying next to someone, they're coming into your side of the bed, that makes you hot!

"Women in particular, because of the week before and during your period, your core temperature is a little bit too hot for sleep. So if you've got someone next to you, making you hotter, that's not good."

James continued: "Also, you might like a light duvet to sleep with, but your partner might still like a heavy duvet - one person in this relationship becomes the sleep dictator.

"That person says this is the duvet we're having and you can end up with 'duvet wars' where one person is saying, 'I've got the duvet, I'd like more of the duvet', or 'No, we’re having this [type of] duvet', you end up in this sort of battle. With separate duvets, they not only give a better temperature for sleep, but also stop you fighting over the duvet too. Win, win."
