UK is asked to fill a hot water bottle this weekend to get a better night sleep in hot weather.
MET office, most of the UK’s temperatures this weekend will be over 30C as the heat wave conditions will pass, he said. On Saturday, 34 ° C is estimated in Eastern England, the most disturbing heat is expected to hit the north and western regions, despite slightly lower temperatures, the air will be much more humid. Although the hot sunlight is glorious to enjoy the day, it can disturb night sleep.
Heat can make it difficult to drift to sleep, which causes a frustrating night, to kick the fatigue, rotation and quilt with effort to cool. However, you don’t have to consult fans working for hours to make your room a little more cool – all you need is a hot water bottle.
Yes, the purpose of the hot water bottle is to keep you beautiful and warm, but experts say it can be used to achieve the opposite effect if you fill with cold water.
Fill your hot water bottle with ice -cold water and place it in your bed just before sleeping. This will help cool your sheets and pillows and then keep yourself against your skin to cool – Don’t forget to wrap it on a lid or tea towel if it is icy to avoid direct contact with your skin.
You can also fill the bottle with cold water and then put it in the freezer to make it even colder, but be careful against leaving there as long as it can damage the rubber, ie exploding when the next hot water is added.
If you put it in the freezer, make sure you fill the bottle only half of the top, or keep a bottle separately for cold use and the other is hot.
The heat processes says: “Simple; fill your bottle with ice water, ice cubes or crushed ice. The bottle moves backwards instead of releasing hot heat. It emits colds. Slowly cools down, unlike hot water that will cool down, the iced water heats up to room temperature.
“Some people suggest that you can fill your bottle with cold water, and then you should not stay for more than 20 minutes, then you can place it in the freezer, otherwise the rubber may be in danger and rupture. The best plan is to have different bottles for heat filling and cold filling.
“You can also use your cold hot water bottle to cool your layers or pillows before going to bed.
