During the summer days, pregnant women may experience increased metabolic rate and fatigue due to the need for pregnancy. The hot climate also reduces people's appetite and nutrient intake. In summer, excessive sweating can easily disrupt the body's electrolyte and energy metabolism. It will affect the activity of the brain and nerves, leading to a feeling of drowsiness. If sufficient sleep cannot be guaranteed at this time, it will affect the mood of pregnant women. In this article, we focus on introducing the following 8 tips for pregnant women to get good sleep in summer:

1. Comfortable sleeping bedding. If pregnant women want to have a good sleep, comfortable bedding is essential. However, pregnant women should not sleep on overly soft mattresses during summer, and a mattress with a thickness of 10 inches is most suitable for pregnant women.

2. Sleep-inducing fruit. The aromatic scent of some fruits can calm the central nervous system and help you fall asleep. Pregnant mothers can try eating an apple before going to bed, or placing a peeled or sliced citrus on the bedside table. The natural fruity aroma not only provides nutrition to the body but also brings joy to the mind.

3. Eating 3 hours before bedtime. Pregnant women can generally improve their sleep quality by eating something 3 hours before falling asleep. Pregnant mothers should pay more attention to their "sleep aid foods" and avoid eating too cold or greasy food before bedtime.

4. Taking a shower one hour before bedtime. Pregnant women should take a shower before bedtime and have their baby father give them a massage to quickly fall asleep. There are also precautions to take when taking a shower. Do not soak in a bath, the water temperature should not be too high, and take 15-20 minutes. Another important point is that it is best to take a shower one hour before bedtime, as there will be a period of high body temperature after showering, making it difficult for people to fall asleep.

5. Improve the sleeping environment. You can improve the fatigue of expectant mothers by placing some waist or leg pillows. Pregnancy Pillow is also a good method. The Pregnancy Pillow can be used to support the abdomen and back, and having enough Pregnancy Pillows can ensure comfortable sleep. For example, using one Pregnancy Pillow to support the waist to ensure abdominal comfort, and another placed between the legs to support the buttocks.

6. Listen to music and do yoga before bedtime. Expectant mothers can regulate their neurological function through these small habits, which can make it easier to fall asleep.

7. Sleeping on the left side. The correct sleeping position for pregnant mothers should be on the left side. The sleeping position with bent legs prevents the fetus from compressing the large blood vessels in the abdomen of the pregnant mother, allowing blood to flow smoothly from the lower limbs to the heart, thereby reducing the burden on the pregnant mother's heart and ensuring sleep quality. When sleeping, you can alternate left and right, mainly on the left side. Use a pillow to support your back and tilt it slightly. When lying flat, place a small pillow at your waist.

8. Drink less water at night. To alleviate sleep problems caused by frequent awakenings, it is recommended that pregnant mothers drink enough water before dinner. If not working during the day, it is recommended to lie on the left side when relaxing at home. Office workers should drink water and urinate frequently during the day, and take a break at noon when convenient. Raising their lower limbs and urinating frequently during the day can help reduce edema.

The quality of sleep for pregnant and postpartum mothers is crucial for both their own and their baby's health. By improving the sleeping environment, adjusting lifestyle habits, and conducting psychological adjustments, we can ensure the health of pregnant mothers and babies.
