A Hot Summer Can Make It Difficult To Sleep

There has been a heatwave in Britain this summer and this can make it very difficult to sleep leading to many people experiencing insomnia.
I though about writing a post on the best ways to get to sleep when it's hot and humid, but saw a few articles on the web which have already done this.
So here are a few links to some good sleep tips during a heatwave!

BBC - How to sleep well on sticky nights

The Guardian - A sleep expert offers his top tips to sleep when it's hot

The Independant - Their readers tips on how to chill when going to sleep 

All have some good tips and ideas which are worth a try. Here's a taster from the sleep expert:
"If you're in the grip of a sweltering insomnia, "run your wrists and hands under the cold tap for a few minutes. Dry your hands and go straight back to bed."
I've not heard of that one before and will definitely be giving it a go...
