While the hot weather is rather enjoyable during the daytime as you enjoy a cold beverage under the blaring sun, it can be a nuisance during the night.
Sharing a cause for the common issue of a poor night's rest in the heat, a sleep expert has revealed that people have been making a vital mistake before heading to bed.
Brits may have tried all methods to keep cool to no avail - with a common option being to put your pyjamas in the fridge before settling down for the night.
However, the expert has warned against this popular method of keeping cool as you could be creating an opposite effect by warming them up instead.
Speaking previously with the Mirror, Wilson said: "When hot weather comes around there are some tips given out that may sound like they would work when actually they really really don’t.
"An example of this may be putting your bedding/pyjamas in the fridge or freezer or wearing wet socks to bed, but they both have the same problem.
"These approaches will add more moisture to your sleep environment and that moisture will heat up during the night.
"This means that although it may cool you down as you go to bed during the night this moisture will heat up and is likely to wake you as you come out of your sleep cycle.
"An alternative that works would be to have either a lukewarm bath or shower or put lukewarm water in a hot water bottle and rest the soles of your feet on it."
Wilson continued: "This helps raise your core temperature slightly which will then lead to a drop in core temperature.
"A drop in core temperature is an important part of the process of your body falling asleep and this approach is basically tricking your body into thinking it is cooler than it is.
"The reason we use lukewarm water rather than ice cold is that ice cold will shock your body, making it feel more active and more than likely prolonging the process of getting sleep."
Offering further effective tips of his own, Wilson advises people to maintain good airflow throughout their homes. This can easily be done by opening windows on both sides to allow air to pass through.
He also suggested keeping blinds and curtains closed in rooms exposed to direct sunlight, with the shade helping to keep things cool.
If you've got a fan, then you could always position a bowl of chilled water in front of it in order to cool the air stream in your bedroom.
Wilson continued: "If you are using a cotton sheet ensure it is as low a thread count as possible as the higher the thread count, the less breathable it is.
"Cotton is okay in hot weather, although it isn't that great at wicking the moisture away; I would suggest using bamboo. It has longer fibres so breathes better and doesn't lint so people with skin conditions are not as aggravated – it is also lighter on the body."
