As temperatures soar, many find themselves tossing and turning. Research shows that longer daylight hours inhibit the production of ‘Melatonin,’ the hormone responsible for sleep. This disruption of the circadian rhythm often leads to fatigue, irritability, and serious health issues like Type-2 Diabetes due to increased stress hormones.

Expert Advice for Quality Sleep:

• Maintain a Schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
• Optimize Environment: Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
• Unplug Early: Avoid screens (phones/laptops) at least one hour before bed.
• Dietary Habits: Skip heavy late-night meals and caffeine.
• Pre-Sleep Ritual: A cool shower and breathable cotton clothing can significantly improve sleep quality.

Prioritizing 7-8 hours of sleep is not a luxury but a necessity for metabolic health. Small lifestyle tweaks can help you reclaim your night.
