Almost two thirds of people in Britain struggle to fall asleep, and 60% of Brits also say they aren’t content with their current sleep cycle but during a heatwave we can expect the nation to be struggling to get a good night’s rest. Your sleep affects many aspects of your body, such as brain functionality and development, hormonal balances and emotional stability. A bad night's sleep can set you up for a bad day, so it’s important to give yourself the best chance possible.
James Higgins, sleep specialist and CEO of Ethical Bedding , provides tips on how to sleep better during hot weather and which fabrics are best for sleeping during a heatwave.
“In the early stages of our sleep our circadian rhythms (body rhythm) are still very much ticking and our brain is functioning at its usual rate. Your bedtime routine and bedding are a vital part of getting that rhythm to settle and become sleepy. These tips can hopefully help ensure you get a full night’s rest.” says James.
