It’s officially the heating season in Nigeria, and many people have been finding it hard to cope; the fuel scarcity coupled with the erratic light these days has made life a little difficult for most people.
How do we survive at night when it’s hot?
This hot season, we are advised to drink water, stay hydrated, avoid black clothes, buy a rechargeable fan, and wear loose clothes so you won’t be affected. But what they fail to tell you is that you can utilize the energy coming from the sun to your advantage.
“Hot weather can be a nuisance when it comes to bedtime, and while we may celebrate the warmth of the sun and the longer brighter days, heat can cause havoc when it comes to catching the snooze.”Ref:
Hot weather can create an uncomfortable environment, making it difficult to fall and stay asleep.
Several studies have shown that increased nighttime temperature leads to insufficient sleep. Exposure to heat limits the natural drop in body temperature, promoting wakefulness and reducing the amount of time spent in deep sleep and REM sleep (Rapid eye movement).
Caring for a baby in hot weather can be challenging and it’s common for parents to feel concerned if their baby is too hot and perhaps overheating. Healthy babies, who are thriving and well-hydrated, generally have no problems regulating their body temperature unless they become overheated.
What are the effects of hot weather on babies?
When the weather is scorching, it’s harder for babies and children to maintain a comfortable body temperature. A child’s body temperature rises faster than an adult’s and they can be affected quickly by the impact of heat on their body. They are also more at risk than adults of becoming overheated and being affected by a heat-related illness. If your baby’s overheating, they’re likely uncomfortable, their sleep may suffer, and they may get heat rash. But there’s an even more serious concern: Overheating can raise the risk of infant sleep death, also called SIDS.
How do I know if the baby is feeling hot?
- Clammy Skin. You can tell if your baby is too hot if their neck, back, or tummy is sweaty or warm to the touch.
- Red Face and Rashes.
- Rapid Breathing and Raised Heart Rate.
- Lethargic and Disorientated.
- Increased Irritability.
- Tired of the discomfort you get when battling between getting a night of sleep and the baby crying?
- Tired of rubbing powder all over the baby’s body at night hoping it will reduce the heat?
- Tired of the restless night the baby gets because of the noise that comes from the generators?
