Many people have a harder time getting enough quality sleep during the summer. This can be highly troublesome, especially for anyone who is already dealing with sleep apnea<\/a> or another sleep disorder. The good news is that there are steps that can be taken to make getting the rest you deserve easier. Below are 5 key tips that can help improve the sleep you\u2019re able to get on summer nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Cool Down Your Bedroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it\u2019s hot, your body tends to have a harder time reaching the right temperature for sleep. As such, it\u2019s recommended that you maintain a cool bedroom temperature; ideally, it should be somewhere between 65 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Turning on your air conditioner can definitely help. You can also try less conventional measures, such as putting an ice tray in front of a fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Limit Sunlight Exposure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The extra hours of daylight during the summer can impact your body\u2019s melatonin production, which can have an adverse effect on your sleep schedule. You can close the blinds on your windows to keep sunlight out of your room in the evenings. Just don\u2019t forget to open them again in the morning so that you can get the sunlight exposure you need to keep your body\u2019s internal clock on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Don\u2019t Eat Too Late in the Evening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some people end up eating later than normal during the summer. This is a problem because eating increases your metabolic rate, which causes your body\u2019s temperature to go up and therefore makes it more difficult to fall asleep. It\u2019s important to be mindful of the timing of your last meal of the day so that it doesn\u2019t interfere with the quality of your slumber. Try to avoid eating anything for at least a couple of hours before your regular bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Switch Out Your Sheets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A heavy comforter can be great during the winter, but it\u2019s not a good fit for warmer summer nights. As part of your efforts to ensure that your body is able to reach the right sleeping temperature, you should try switching to lightweight sheets that are more breathable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Make Sure You Get the Right Treatment for Your Sleep Apnea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter what time of year it is, sleep apnea can severely inhibit your ability to get a good night\u2019s rest. If you suspect that you\u2019re suffering from sleep-disordered breathing, you should have it diagnosed by an expert as soon as possible. Once you do, you can seek out an appropriate form of treatment. For many patients, this means wearing a customized oral appliance that helps keep the airway open in order to prevent breathing interruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
