As summer arrives, the unbearable heat leads many people to rely on air conditioning to sleep, but the high electricity bills can be a concern. To address this, BBC consulted with clinical sleep experts to compile 10 tips for better sleep without relying on air conditioning. Suggestions include avoiding naps, maintaining regular routines, ensuring ventilation, using thin bedding, preparing cooling items, staying hydrated, limiting caffeine and alcohol intake, engaging in calming activities before bed, and ensuring children have consistent bedtime routines. The article also emphasizes that while most people need 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night, a couple of nights of poor sleep won't have a significant impact in the long run.
