You\u2019re not alone\u2014many people suffer from sleep disruption due to conditions like sleep apnea, but there are actually several other factors that can cause you to miss out on much-needed rest, and many of them are specific to the summer months. Here\u2019s more from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cstonedentalfargo.com\/meet-your-dentists.html\">your sleep dentist<\/a> about how the summertime can actually affect the quality of your rest, along with some tips for helping you get back to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can the Summertime Affect the Quality of My Rest?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from sleep apnea, which can occur year-round anyway, there are several potential causes for sleep disruption during the summer months, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Warmer temperatures both inside and outdoors.<\/li><li>Seasonal allergies (from pollen, grass, leaves, etc.).<\/li><li>Pet dandruff.<\/li><li>Longer days and more daylight entering your bedroom.<\/li><li>Eating meals later in the day.<\/li><li>Sleeping materials that aren\u2019t cool, comfortable, or breathable (put away the heavy winter quilt).<\/li><li>Summer vacation, jet lag, or other plans that disrupt your sleep schedule.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Getting a Better Summer Night\u2019s Sleep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your body isn\u2019t able to get the rest it needs, problems can arise\u2014you\u2019re actually at risk for some pretty serious health concerns including fatigue, stress, hypertension, heart disease, and even diabetes in some cases. Not to mention, you won\u2019t be able to enjoy your summer if you\u2019re feeling sleepy all the time! That said, here are some tips for getting a better summer night\u2019s sleep:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Establish a bedtime routine<\/strong> \u2013 You should aim to go to bed around the same time every night and limit the number of distractions that occur around then\u2014even if you\u2019re on vacation!<\/li><li><strong>Keep your body cool<\/strong> \u2013 Heat and high humidity can make trying to sleep quite miserable; make sure that cool air is circulating throughout your bedroom. An optimal temperature to try to maintain is 60 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/li><li><strong>Sleep on breathable materials<\/strong> &#8211; Consider sheets and pillows that are made of natural fibers. It also sometimes helps to sleep with your feet outside of the covers.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid late night snacking, drinking, and smoking<\/strong> \u2013 Anything that you consume throughout the day can keep you up at night! Avoid cigarettes and late-night sweets and treats.<\/li><li><strong>Seek sleep apnea treatment if necessary<\/strong> \u2013 You can receive a sleep apnea diagnosis and accompanying treatment, including options like CPAP machines and oral appliances.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing what can influence your ability to fall asleep at night is vital for getting your body\u2019s sleeping habits back on track. If you\u2019re concerned about how sleep apnea might be influencing your sleep this summer and have addressed other concerns of sleep disruption, don\u2019t hesitate to contact your sleep dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cornerstone Dental proudly serves patients and families in the Fargo, ND area under the leadership of Dr. Stacy Goodwill and Dr. Jessica Majidian.
