Trying to find ways to beat the heat at night? Check out Dr. D’s top 5 suggestions on how to cool down at night when the intense heat and humidity make it impossible sleep through the night. Apply Ice: Need to cool down, stat? To chill out super-fast, apply ice packs to pulse points at the wrists, neck, elbows, groin, ankles, and behind the knees. Drink Water: Tossing and turning and sweating at night can result in dehydration, drink a glass of water before going to bed. Try Grains: Well, rice and buckwheat that is. Dr. D uses buckwheat pillows. Buckwheat pillows not only help support your neck, they don’t absorb heat like cotton and down. No buckwheat on hand? For a cold compress on really hot nights, fill a sock with rice, tie it off, and stick it in the freezer for an hour or so. The compress will stay chilly for up to 30 minutes, definitely enough time to nod off. Camp at Home: Got access to a safe outdoor space like a roof, courtyard, or backyard? Practice those camping skills (and stay cooler) by pitching a tent and sleeping al fresco. Get Adjusted: Chiropractic care and wellness adjustments will help you to relax. Especially if you’ve been tossing and turning at night. Many people have felt that their sleep has improved after getting regular wellness adjustments. Come in today to get your wellness adjustment and help beat the heat. (We have AC!) Also, if you don’t have an ice pack, you can purchase one here at the clinic.
