Oddly enough, but it is a warm shower or bath 10 minutes before bedtime can lower body temperature for a while. Surprisingly, cold water does not cool as well as warm water.
Do not eat meat before bedtime
In principle, in the heat, according to the expert, it is better to abandon the use of meat with a high protein content. During the digestion of heavy food, the body begins to increase metabolism, which increases body temperature.
In addition, the doctor claims that in hot weather it is worth eating more than once and in a large portion, and switch to fractional nutrition for the same reason.

Eat eggs
Nutritionist Sharon Natoly in an interview with Mail Online said that eating eggs before bedtime helps to reduce body temperature.
Something as simple as eating eggs during dinner can be a natural sedative, as egg whites help the body prepare for sleep by producing melatonin, which causes drowsiness."
Make a compress
Moistened with cold water or slightly frostbitten rag saves many not only during high temperatures, but also in heat. Before going to bed, make yourself such a compress on any part of the body, and it will be much easier to fall asleep.

An ancient, but very effective way. If your house does not have air conditioning, and the fan drives only warm air - freeze a couple of bottles of water, and then put them in front of the fan. The sultry wind will immediately be replaced by a "sea" breeze.
Change sheets
In summer, you should give preference to breathable, natural fabrics, such as cotton or bamboo. They perfectly absorb moisture, so sleeping on such sheets in the heat will be much easier than on synthetic ones.
