We’ve got a heat wave, everyone is hot and bothered, and nobody is sleeping well.
Here’s the weird part: getting even hotter before bed can help!
Take a hot shower or soak your feet in hot water for 10–15 minutes before you go to sleep. Warming your skin increases circulation to your hands and feet. When you get out, your body releases heat more efficiently, cooling your core, which signals your brain that it’s time to sleep.
Weird but true: when it’s too hot to sleep, briefly heating yourself up can help your body cool itself down.
Keep the bedroom cool, then let your body do the rest.
And if you’re still having trouble sleeping, come see me for acupuncture.
