Has your sleep gotten worse this summer? Many people struggle to get good sleep in summer because of increased sunlight exposure later in the day, more social activities that throw off your sleep schedule and hotter temperatures at night (optimal temperature for good sleep ranges between 18-26°C, or 64-78°F). You may rely on air conditioning, which can lead you to the imbalanced exposure to the hot and the cold. Staying up late at night in a cool room may increase the risk of feeling dull in the daytime.

Sleep deprivation can have severe impacts on your physical and psychological health. It can develop into long-term sleep disorders (such as insomnia), or even a mood disorder (such as depression or anxiety). A Sleep Foundation survey found that those with poor sleep quality were 3x more likely to also have poor mental health compared to those with average sleep quality.
