How to stay cool and sleep better during a heatwave
While the return of warm weather is welcome for many, rising temperatures can quickly lead to discomfort, making it harder to focus, relax or sleep. While the sun is great while you want to have fun - it can be hard when you're hoping to work, or sleep - and keeping your home cool can be tricky. Chris Michael, chair of air treatment specialists Meaco - they do more than just dehumidifiers - shares his favourite ways to stay cool. Five ways to stay cool and get a restful night's sleep this summer 1. Use a cold water bottle Fill your hot water bottle with water and freeze it before bedtime. This makes a simple and effective ice pack to keep you cool overnight without adding to your energy bill. 2. Close blinds and curtains Direct sunlight through windows quickly heats up your home. Keep blinds, curtains and windows closed during the hottest part of the day, especially those facing south. Once the temperature drops in the evening, open them to let cooler air in. 3. Take warm showers Although it seems counterintuitive, a warm shower before bed helps the body regulate its temperature more effectively. Cold showers can trigger the body to generate heat, whereas a warm shower encourages the body to cool down naturally. 4. Buy a fan (ideally before the rush) As soon as warm weather is forecast, fans start to sell out quickly. Buying a high-quality air circulating fan in advance ensures you're ready. Look for reputable brands with strong reviews and clever features like ECO mode to save energy. For bedroom use, choose a quiet fan. Loud fans can disturb sleep, so consider models that are Quiet Mark accredited and include Night Mode for uninterrupted rest. Low energy consumption is also key, especially if you plan to run the fan all night. 5. Check windows and doors Gaps around windows and doors can let in heat during summer just as they let out heat in winter. Sealing these gaps is a quick, cost-effective way to keep your indoor space cooler with less effort. How a MeacoFan can help you keep your home cool this summer With Quiet Mark accreditation, Meaco fans are ideal for bedrooms, children's rooms and home offices, as they include timers, temperature sensors, night modes, and intuitive controls to help you stay focused, relaxed, and well-rested. Meaco has expanded its quietest and most energy-efficient fan line with the new MeacoFan Sefte® 8' Portable Battery Powered Air Circulator. It offers mains or battery operation, making it ideal for use at home, while travelling, or outdoors. The replaceable battery extends the fan's life far beyond that of typical sealed battery models, aligning with upcoming EU regulations and reducing waste. The 8-inch model joins the Sefte 10' Table and 10' Pedestal Air Circulators, recently named Best in Category by Which? for their outstanding performance, quiet operation and build quality. Recommended reading How a fan can help you sleep in a heatwave With better sleep being the number one reason people buy a fan, it's worth investing in one that's quieter, more energy-efficient, and ideally features a dedicated night mode. Meaco has a glow-in-the-dark remote control to make it easier to adjust settings without turning on a light. It's also worth thinking ahead for long-term use, low energy costs and comfort, to help you stay cool through this summer and many more.
