Managing sleep in intense heatwaves
Heatwaves cause a significant increase in nighttime temperatures, which negatively affect sleep quality. Studies show that when ambient temperatures range between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius, deep sleep stages weaken, and nighttime awakenings increase. Additionally, elevated body temperatures hinder the secretion of melatonin, which is essential for deep sleep. To mitigate the effects of heat, it is advised to set the room temperature between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius, use cooling devices, improve ventilation, and avoid heavy meals and caffeine before bedtime.
