Hot summer days can be total bliss – that is, if you’re hanging around the pool sipping margaritas. But if you’re stuck at home (or in a sweltering workplace), the heat can quickly start to irritate you or even become dangerous. 

Being stuck in your own personal sauna can make you feel drowsy, irritated and seriously restless. So getting the basics right – like staying hydrated, keeping to the shade where possible, and closing your curtains during the day – is essential.
