With mercury soaring, it can be challenging to get a good night's sleep. Anand Nichani, Managing Director of Magniflex India shared with IANS 10 tips to keep your bedroom cool during the summer season and ensure quality sleep.
A ceiling fan or a portable fan can create a cool breeze in your room, while an air conditioner can circulate cool air throughout your bedroom.
To keep your room cool, close the curtains or blinds during the day to block out sunlight and prevent your room from heating up.
The temperature drops outside in the evening. Open your windows and doors in the evening to let in the fresh air and cool down your bedroom.
High humidity levels can make your bedroom feel warmer than it is. A dehumidifier can help remove excess moisture from the air and make your room feel cooler.
Blackout curtains can block out sunlight and heat, keeping your bedroom cool and dark. They can reduce outside noise, creating a relaxing sleeping environment.
Natural fibers like cotton, linen, and bamboo are breathable and can help keep you cool at night. Avoid synthetic materials like polyester, which can trap heat.
Dark-coloured bedding absorbs heat and can make your bedroom feel warmer. In contrast, light-coloured bedding reflects sunlight, keeping your room cool during the day.
Electronic devices like TVs, computers, and smartphones generate heat, which can make your room feel warmer. Avoid using electronics for at least an hour before bed.
Drinking water and staying hydrated can help regulate your body temperature and keep you cool. Keep a glass of water by your bedside to stay hydrated throughout the night.
A pre-sleep cool shower can help lower your body temperature and make it easier to fall asleep. It can also help you feel refreshed and relaxed after a long day.
