Tossing and turning by 3 AM in May: the body-clock shift most Indians blame on stress instead of heat
IN · Published May 1, 2026
Many Indians find themselves waking up at 3 AM in May.
Often stress is blamed, but the intense heat plays a significant role.
High temperatures disrupt the body's natural sleep cycle.

Why It's Important?

The human body's internal temperature regulation plays a crucial role in the sleep cycle. A slight drop in body temperature is a natural signal for sleep onset. However, during scorching summer months, the ambient temperature remains high, making it difficult for the body to cool down effectively. This disruption interferes with the natural sleep cycle, leading to early awakenings and restless nights.
