These 7 Sleep Hacks Might Just Save Your During This Texas Heatwave 

Freeze your hot water bottle — Just flip the script! Toss it in the freezer and cuddle it like your sleep depends on it (because it kinda does).

Cool down your wrists — Run them under cold water before bed. It’s like a quick chill pill for your bloodstream.

Blackout your room — Keep those curtains shut all day to block sunlight. Your room will thank you. Your future, well-rested self will too.

Hydrate like you’re training for a water-drinking Olympics — Water helps regulate your body temp and your sleep schedule. Double win.

Nap wisely — Power naps are okay. Deep naps? Nope. You’ll wake up feeling like you time-traveled to another dimension.

No booze before bed — It might knock you out, but you’ll wake up groggy and sweaty. Pass.

Switch to summer bedding — Light colors + lightweight fabrics = the holy grail of cool sleeping.
