How many hours should you sleep per night?<\/strong> Is not a fixed rule. Doctors recommend sleeping 7-8 hours a night,<\/strong> but the figure varies from person to person.<\/p>\n

However, there are many who stay awake all or most of the night falling prey toinsomnia<\/strong>, which for some may be an occasional or transient occurrence (accidents, trauma, illness), but for others become a repeating disorder until it becomes chronic.<\/p>\n

Insomnia is already in itself a significant disorder that alters in people the sphere of habits, family relationships, and even the psychological sphere with considerable influence on mood and emotions.<\/p>\n

If the clinical problem is slightly more manageable in more stable weather conditions, it becomes more oppressive and difficult to manage<\/strong> when the heat becomes persistent and increasing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Insomnia, already a fearsome nocturnal enemy, accompanied by the scorching heat of cities in summer can become an unbearable mix that physically wears down the sufferer, resulting in real emergencies.<\/p>\n

The remedies to be found are partly in the order of reducing the impact of heat and partly in promoting relaxation and subsequent falling asleep.<\/p>\n

To reduce the invective of nighttime heat:<\/strong>
\n– have a light dinner<\/strong> by avoiding strenuous foods and drink plenty of water, avoiding alcohol altogether.
\n– use smooth, light-colored cotton sheets<\/strong> that don’t make you sweat
\n– power two windows<\/strong> on opposite sides of the house, or if you have an air conditioner, open it to a temperature of 26 degrees<\/strong>
\n– before going to bed, take a lukewarm shower<\/strong>, not a cold one
\n– take valerian<\/strong>, which will ensure a sedative and relaxing effect.
\n– wear underwear<\/strong> that can absorb sweat<\/strong>
\n– possibly avoid<\/strong> watching TV<\/strong>, which is sometimes too exciting, preferring relaxing reading
\n– Arrange themselves in bed in a spacious<\/strong> and unconstrained position<\/strong>
\n– avoid thinking about the heat<\/strong>, blowing yourself with fans, and thinking about leaving the bed, but wait patiently for the arrival of sleep .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
