🌤️ The day
Blinds and windows should be closed during their entire exposure to the sun. Their double obstacle limits the entry of heat into the room.

If your home has several windows, alternate opening and closing them depending on their exposure to the sun.

Leave your windows open on the shaded side if this allows for drafts. If it is not possible to create drafts with only the shaded windows, keep them closed.

Cool rooms by evaporating water: place a damp towel or cloth in front of an open window so that the evaporation cools the atmosphere. Re-wet the cloth as soon as it is dry. Place a block of ice or a bag of ice cubes in a draft (in front of a fan).

🌖 In the evening
When the sun has set AND the outside temperature has dropped, open the last windows. Regularly pour a bucket of water, if possible, in the evening after sunset, on a terrace, balcony or window sill.

🌙 At night
Leave windows open whenever possible and allow for airflow.

Several studies recommend sleeping on your back. A position adopted by only 8% of people, which nevertheless allows you to truly rest your body, relieve the spine and neck and avoid discomforts such as heartburn. Yet it is perhaps the best position for sleeping.
That said, be careful, because this is the position that most promotes snoring. Note that it is imperative that the pillow is well placed to support the head but that it should not be too raised.
Not to be confused with the fetal position. Sleeping on your side is more natural for many people. Starting with pregnant women who are advised to sleep on their left side to promote good blood circulation. Sleeping on your side is also good when you don't want to risk snoring and it prevents particularly unpleasant gastric reflux.
Only 7% of the population sleeps on their stomach, with their head turned to one side or the other, sometimes with a hand or forearm under the pillow. This is the so-called "free fall" posture. Sleeping on your stomach, while it may seem natural, is not good.
When sleeping on your stomach, a lot of pressure is exerted on your muscles and joints. The spine no longer supports the body. After a while, if this position is repeated regularly, pain may appear, as well as tension and numbness in the neck and even the jaw.
In an article published in Madame Figaro, osteopath/physiotherapist Samuel Homo warns against this position which increases physiological lordosis, that is to say that it aggravates the hollow between the pelvis and the bottom of the ribs. Which invariably leads to pressure on the vertebral discs, the lumbar region but also, as if that were not enough, the sacrum. Having the head turned to the side also exerts pressure on the cervical vertebrae.
It is strongly discouraged for people suffering fromSleep Apnea sleeping on your stomach because this is a position that does not facilitate breathing at all. When you sleep on your stomach, the rib cage opens less easily than when you sleep on your back, for example. The swallowing muscles are put under pressure.
In conclusion, we can say that the position we adopt every night is not insignificant. Insomnia, sleep apnea, sleepwalking and all other sleep disorders can be aggravated by a bad position. That said, it is appropriate to moderate these sometimes slightly worrying observations by remembering that we move during our sleep. To varying degrees depending on the person, but still. If we fall asleep more easily on our side or on our stomach, we can also wake up on our back. Sometimes, it is appropriate to re-educate ourselves to adopt the right behaviors. Training yourself to fall asleep on your side or on your back is, for example, entirely appropriate. It is also of course advisable to seek the advice of a specialist who will be able to guide you and give you the keys to a more peaceful sleep and more pleasant awakenings...

There are several things you can do to have a good night's sleep:
· The room must be a quiet place, without noise, without light with a temperature not exceeding 19°
· Eat a light dinner at least 2 hours before bedtime.
· Do calm, relaxing activities at the end of the day
· Practice physical activity during the day, avoid sport at the end of the day Go to bed and wake up at regular times
· Alcohol, nicotine and foods containing caffeine interfere with sleep
· Avoid screens at least 1 to 2 hours before bedtime
· Getting up at the same time every day, including weekends, helps to synchronise the sleep-wake rhythm

And of course have good bedding 😉
