3.Have a lukewarm bath or shower, instead of hot.
4.Keep your bedroom cool and wear silk or cotton pyjamas.
5.Reduce stress by upping exercise. Just don’t do any exercise two hours before bedtime.
6.Avoid hot-flush triggers like caffeine, spicy food and alcohol.
7.Buy a wool duvet because wool fibres naturally pull heat away from the body.
8. Take an extra supplement that contains the agnus castus plant, as it helps with hormonal balance.
