Rising temperatures in India are not just making days unbearable — they are also disrupting sleep patterns. Insomnia and sleep disorders are becoming increasingly common, especially during extended heatwaves and humid nights.

Why Does Heat Affect Sleep?

• Body Temperature Regulation: The body needs to cool down to initiate deep sleep. Hot conditions make this difficult.
• Dehydration: High temperatures increase water loss, leading to restlessness and frequent awakenings.
• Increased Cortisol Levels: Heat stress elevates cortisol (stress hormone), making it harder to relax.

Common Signs of Heat-Linked Sleep Disorders

• Difficulty falling or staying asleep
• Night sweats and restlessness
• Daytime fatigue and poor concentration
• Mood disturbances or irritability

Lifestyle Tips for Better Sleep During Heat

• Use light cotton bedding and breathable sleepwear
• Stay hydrated, but avoid heavy meals and caffeine before bed
• Maintain a cool, dark, and quiet sleeping environment
• Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation before bedtime

When to See a Sleep Specialist?

Visit a doctor if:

• Insomnia persists for more than two weeks
• You experience chronic fatigue, anxiety, or headaches due to poor sleep
• There are signs of sleep apnea (loud snoring, choking during sleep)
