We can confirm that the reports are true: it is hotter than the gates of hell outside.
Temperatures have remained in the 30s across the country during the past week’s heatwave, with some even hitting as high as 36C in some of hottest weather on record.
While the scorching sun is set to make way for clouds and thunderstorms, the heat looks set to stay, meaning it’s likely to get pretty damn muggy up in here. If you’re anything like us, the first thought that comes to mind is probably: ‘Okay, how the hell am I going to sleep?!’
Luckily for us, there are some pretty clever products, gadgets and tech out there specifically designed to help keep us cool during the night. You may have already stocked up on one of the best fans on the market, invested in some breathable sheets and tried this one simple trick to cure your heat-induced insomnia, but we bet you haven’t tried one of these life changing buys yet.
There are eye masks with cooling built-in beads, tech towels to wrap around your overheated neck (that stay cold for, like, a millennia), pillow inserts that keep you at a sleep-inducing temperature for three to five hours, a magical mattress topper with cooling gel grains to reduce heat retention, and a pretty genius hot water bottle trick. A hot water bottle, during a heatwave? Really? No, really, trust us – read on to see what we mean.
And the best part? Almost all of these sleep-saving buys are available for next day delivery via Amazon Prime. Here’s to a good (and cool) night’s sleep…
