Overview
- Following May 25's record-hot May Day, coverage on May 26 shifted from weather records to practical tips for sleeping in warm nights.
- Journalists recommend swapping a thick duvet for a single bed sheet to stay covered without overheating and improve night-time comfort.
- George at Asda is highlighted for selling single sheets from £4, with other retailers said to stock similar low-cost options.
- A Reddit life-hack—placing sheets and pillowcases in a sealed bag in the freezer before bed—was widely shared as an anecdotal short-term fix.
- The advice responds to a wider issue: many UK homes lack air conditioning and use heavier duvets for cooler weather, so cheap, easy measures are being promoted while the warm spell continues.
