Many people understand the threat of heat-related health risks during the day, but many may not realize that equal risks are still present at night.
After the sun sets, it seems like the temperatures are not so hot, but the outside temperature may not have cooled enough for our bodies, which have been exposed to heat almost all day.
"The elderly, children, people with chronic diseases, etc., may not realize that their temperature is rising, compared to the day they wake up and notice that something is wrong," Dr. told Healthline. Baruch Fertel, emergency physician at the Cleveland Clinic.
Fertel suggests avoiding any strenuous activity, such as physical exercise or lifting heavy objects, during these evening hours when the body has not been able to calm down.
In addition, make sure that the environment where you will sleep is cool and drink plenty of water.
