Say Goodnight To Your Summer Insomnia!
Use these tips and tricks to sleep more soundly during the hot Summer months!
If you suffer from insomnia during Summer, rest assured in knowing you’re not alone. While insomnia impacts millions of people year round, it’s proven that the most sleepless nights occur during the Summer. Believe it or not, there is actually a scientific reason for this. The longer hours of daylight impact our circadian rhythm and hormones, which makes it harder to fall asleep timely during the Summer months. Our bodies release melatonin when it starts getting dark as a natural signal that it’s time to sleep, but during the Summer, our body doesn’t start releasing melatonin until much later due to the increased exposure to sunlight.
Additional lifestyle choices, such as drinking too much alcohol, and factors such as temperature, can also make it more difficult to sleep during the Summer. For example, many people find they can’t get comfortable enough to sleep if it’s too hot in their bedroom. Plus, our social calendars are often at their most robust during the warmer months, when we are making the most of our children being home from school and filling the longer days with activities. We simply don’t settle down as early as we might in the Fall or Winter, which contributes to difficulties falling and staying asleep. Congestion caused by seasonal allergies can also make it harder to feel comfortable at night.
Luckily, you don’t have to suffer from sleepless nights all Summer long. Making lifestyle changes, such as exercising more or changing the time you workout, can help you sleep more soundly at night. You may also find success by revamping your nighttime routine, practicing self care, keeping a consistent schedule, and darkening your room prior to bedtime. Other experts say that turning off screens a while before bedtime, such as your phone and computer, can help you develop healthy sleep habits. This is because our screens emit blue light, which makes us feel more alert at night and inhibits our body’s production of melatonin.
You also don’t have to deal with sleepless nights alone. Instead of tossing and turning all night, consider purchasing one of these helpful products that have already proven they can help folks beat insomnia! For insomnia that is particularly persistent, you may also want to schedule an appointment to discuss your options with your medical provider.
