Insomnia & Sleep Disorders in India's Heat

 By Dr. Shruthi Thennati, Kayakalpa Clinic

Rising temperatures in India are not just making days unbearable — they are also disrupting sleep patterns. Insomnia and sleep disorders are becoming increasingly common, especially during extended heatwaves and humid nights.

Why Does Heat Affect Sleep?

  • Body Temperature Regulation: The body needs to cool down to initiate deep sleep. Hot conditions make this difficult.
  • Dehydration: High temperatures increase water loss, leading to restlessness and frequent awakenings.
  • Increased Cortisol Levels: Heat stress elevates cortisol (stress hormone), making it harder to relax.

Common Signs of Heat-Linked Sleep Disorders

  • Difficulty falling or staying asleep
  • Night sweats and restlessness
  • Daytime fatigue and poor concentration
  • Mood disturbances or irritability

Lifestyle Tips for Better Sleep During Heat

  • Use light cotton bedding and breathable sleepwear
  • Stay hydrated, but avoid heavy meals and caffeine before bed
  • Maintain a cool, dark, and quiet sleeping environment
  • Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation before bedtime

When to See a Sleep Specialist?

Visit a doctor if:

  • Insomnia persists for more than two weeks
  • You experience chronic fatigue, anxiety, or headaches due to poor sleep
  • There are signs of sleep apnea (loud snoring, choking during sleep)
