Choose soft light, limit lights with blue light
Replace white and blue lights with soft yellow light night lights or warm-toned LED lights to create a feeling of relaxation before bed. Blue light and strong light at night can reduce the secretion of melatonin - a sleep-regulating hormone, making it harder for you to fall asleep.
Limit phone use before bedtime
Blue light from phone screens, tablets or laptops can also inhibit melatonin secretion. Therefore, you should stop using electronic devices about 30 minutes to 1 hour before going to bed so that the body can easily switch to a resting state.
Keep the bed dry and airy
On hot and humid days, use thin blankets made of cotton or linen to increase sweat absorption and ventilation. At the same time, you should change bed sheets or mattress protectors regularly, because sweat accumulated at night can cause a feeling of stuffiness, affecting sleep quality.
Choose curtains with cool colors
Cold colors like blue or light blue do not reduce the actual temperature of the room, but can create a cool and visually comfortable feeling. Using curtains or decorations with this color tone can contribute to creating a relaxing space, helping you fall asleep more easily.
If you don't want to turn on the air conditioner all night, you can apply the simple tips above to improve the comfortable feeling when sleeping in hot weather. However, the effectiveness may vary depending on each person and bedroom conditions.
