Keep reading to learn more about these factors along with some ways you can easily get back to bed this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can Affect the Quality of My Sleep During the Summer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer is meant to be enjoyed and filled with plenty of rest and relaxation; if you aren\u2019t getting enough sleep, you won\u2019t get the most out of your summer! There are many possible causes for sleep disruption during the summer besides sleep apnea, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Warmer temperatures (indoors and outdoors).<\/li><li>Seasonal allergies.<\/li><li>Longer days\/more daylight.<\/li><li>Summer vacation plans that disrupt your sleep schedule.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips For Better Summertime Sleep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you might be tempted to stay out late, you should prioritize getting enough sleep every night during the summertime. Denying yourself the rest you need can lead to serious health problems including fatigue, stress, hypertension, heart disease, and more. Consider the following to ensure a better night\u2019s sleep:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Stay cool<\/strong> \u2013 Heat and humidity can make falling asleep difficult, and some places get pretty darn hot during the summertime, even at night! If you don\u2019t have air conditioning in your bedroom, it\u2019s important to keep air circulating throughout the room. Also try to limit how much sunlight enters the room throughout the day, as that can also make things feel noticeably warmer.<\/li><li><strong>Sleep on breathable materials<\/strong> \u2013 Consider bedding options that are made of natural fibers, as they\u2019ll feel much cooler to you as you sleep. Put away the heavy winter quilt for now! Sometimes it also helps to sleep with your feet outside of the covers.<\/li><li><strong>Establish a bedtime routine<\/strong> \u2013 You should try to go to bed around the same time each night and do your best to limit the number of distractions that occur around this time.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid late-night snacking, drinking, and smoking<\/strong> \u2013 Everything that you consume during the day can influence your sleep that evening, meaning that alcohol, cigarettes, and even food can impact your ability to fall asleep.<\/li><li><strong>Seek sleep apnea treatment<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019re able to receive a sleep test (from a sleep specialist) and seek treatment for your sleep apnea, this can ensure that your body is able to effectively enter deep sleep cycles and experience high-quality rest.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to enjoy all the fun things that summer has to offer if you\u2019re feeling sleepy and groggy all the time!
