Doctor: 'This method of cooling at high temperatures causes blood vessels to constrict'

The article discusses the health risks associated with using cold water showers during heatwaves, highlighting a common misconception that such methods can worsen the situation. It explains that while cold water provides temporary relief, it can lead to vasospasm, reducing the body’s ability to cool down naturally. The piece emphasizes proper sleep environment preparation, including avoiding excessive heat buildup in bedrooms and maintaining airflow. Additional tips include sleeping in a relaxed position, using breathable bedding, keeping feet uncovered, staying hydrated, and limiting alcohol consumption before bed. The advice comes from Dr. Clare Rooms, a general practitioner, who warns against relying on extreme cooling methods during hot weather.
