Tossing and turning by 3 AM in May: the body-clock shift most Indians blame on stress instead of heat
• Many Indians experience sleep disturbances, waking up around 3 AM in May, often attributing it to stress, but heat plays a significant role.
• High ambient temperatures interfere with the body's natural temperature regulation, disrupting the sleep cycle and leading to early awakenings.
• Strategies like optimizing the sleep environment, taking cool showers, and using breathable bedding can help combat the heat and improve sleep quality during summer.
