Yikes it’s been hot hasn’t it? Beautiful sunny weather for days on end, although extreme heat is not always the best for keeping energy levels high and getting enough sleep.
Here are 3 simple tips to feeling your best during the heatwave:
1. Wake up a little earlier and do your exercise first thing. On these glorious days it gets hotter and hotter as the morning and afternoon go on, and who can resist picnics in the park and drinks by the river on the long, sunny evenings? Getting your exercise in while it’s cool and before you start your day will allow you to feel great and enjoy the sunshine for the rest of the day!
2. Drink lots of water. I know this is an obvious one, but you would be surprised how many people do not drink enough water, even when temperatures are soaring. If you find water boring, spice it up a little by adding lemon, ginger, cucumber or even herbs like rosemary.

3. Take a cool bath before bed. This is perfect to cool down your core temperature, helping you go to sleep easily and get good quality rest during the heatwave. The bath water should be comfortable to be in (not just cold as that can enliven your body and wake you up too much), it should feel refreshing yet soothing. Spending 5 – 10 minutes in the bath will calm your mind and body, as well as cool you down so you can slip into a restful sleep.
Enjoy!
