A little cooler - and a lot more comfortable 😊 Five simple ways to sleep better during a heatwave…

🛏️ Choose natural fibres
Lightweight 100% cotton bedding and sleepwear allow heat to escape more easily than many synthetic fabrics, helping you stay cooler throughout the night.

🚿 Take a cool shower
Rather than stepping into icy water, gradually reduce the temperature towards the end of your shower. This can help lower your body temperature gently before bed.

🧦 Cool your feet
Pop a pair of socks in a sealed bag in the freezer for 20–30 minutes before bed. Cool feet can help your whole body feel more comfortable as you drift off.

🌙 Keep your bedroom cool
Close curtains or blinds during the day to keep the heat out, then open windows in the evening when the outside air is cooler to encourage fresh air to circulate.

💨 Sleep low if you can
Warm air rises, so if it’s an option, sleep on a lower floor or choose the coolest room in the house during particularly hot nights.

Small changes to your bedtime routine can make a big difference, helping you wake feeling more rested, refreshed and ready for the day ahead.

Movement matters - whatever the weather.

While getting outdoors has many benefits, it’s important to remember that staying active doesn’t have to mean going for a walk every day.

When it’s raining, windy, too hot, or you simply don’t feel like venturing outside, there are still plenty of ways to keep your body moving.

🏡 Stretch while the kettle boils
🧹 Tackle a few household jobs
🪜 Take the stairs when you can
💃 Put on your favourite music and have a dance around the kitchen
🧘 Try a short yoga, mobility or exercise video at home

Regular movement helps support our muscles, joints, heart health and overall wellbeing. The goal isn’t perfection - it’s simply to keep moving in whatever way works for you.

Remember, every little bit counts. A few minutes of movement is always better than none at all.

Is it hay fever… or could it be something else?

With pollen levels on the rise, many people are experiencing itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, congestion and irritation. But not every symptom at this time of year is caused by allergies.

Common signs of hay fever can include:

🌿 Itchy, red or watery eyes
🌿 Sneezing and a runny nose
🌿 Nasal congestion
🌿 An itchy throat, mouth or ears

However, if symptoms are persistent, unusually severe, affecting only one eye, causing pain, changes in vision, or significant discharge, it’s important not to assume pollen is the cause.

Simple measures such as keeping windows closed during high pollen days, showering after spending time outdoors and changing pillowcases regularly may help reduce symptoms.

If you’re unsure what’s causing your symptoms, or they aren’t improving, seeking professional advice can help you find the right treatment and rule out other causes.
