Millions of people across the UK reported losing sleep during June's record-breaking heatwave, according to a YouGov survey commissioned by The Climate Coalition. The findings highlight one of the less visible impacts of extreme weather, with unusually warm nights leaving many households struggling to rest as temperatures climbed well above seasonal averages across parts of the country.
The poll comes after the UK experienced one of its hottest June periods on record. While much of the public discussion focused on health warnings, transport disruption, and pressure on public services, campaigners and health officials say sleep deprivation may have affected millions of people during the prolonged spell of hot weather.
