With temperatures set to hit 40°c this week, I've been doing everything in my power to sleep through the heat. Fan on full blast, windows open, ice water on the bedside table - you know the drill. But the thing that's actually made the biggest difference? A £9 foot cream from The Body Shop that I've been applying every night before bed.
While it might sound unlikely that your best foot creams can be for anything other than helping your pedicure last a bit longer, here's why it works. For me (and I suspect most people), my feet are basically a thermostat for my whole body - so when they're hot, I'm hot, cool them down, and my whole body gets the memo to drop a degree or two. So once I started treating them as part of my sleep routine rather than as an afterthought, everything changed.
