The impact of the summer sky on our sleep and well-being
In summer, the nights get longer, the windows open onto starry skies... and yet many people sleep poorly. What if the stars could help us get a good night's sleep? Discover how to reconnect with natural rest, inspired by cosmic rhythms and the benefits of the night-time environment.
Summer, a paradoxical time for sleep
Far from promoting rest, the summer season often brings its share of disturbances:
- Excessive heat, which prevents us from falling asleep
- Very long days, which shift our biological clock
- Increased social activity, which delays bedtime
- And sometimes... stress related to holidays or loneliness
Yet summer nights offer an exceptional sensory environment: soft twilight, soothing silence, a light breeze and a starry sky...
The night sky: a forgotten ally for our well-being
Simply gazing at the stars or falling asleep near an open window at night can act as a natural calming agent.
This stimulates melatonin, the sleep hormone, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the relaxation system).
Did you know?
Eye contact with the constellations activates areas of the brain linked to daydreaming, introspection... but also to emotional memory (childhood memories, holidays, freedom).
Accompany this moment with soothing rituals
Here are a few things you can do every evening:
- Drink a cup of lime blossom, verbena or passionflower tea
- Read something light in soft lighting
- Practise mindful breathing near a window
- Gaze at the stars for 5 to 10 minutes
- Have a magnetic energy rebalancing session
Create your own ‘starry cocoon’
Even in the city, you can recreate a nature-inspired atmosphere conducive to sleep:
- Light curtains to let in air and the soft sounds of the night
- Play soft music or natural white noise (waves, cicadas, forest)
- Magnetic therapy pad for deep body relaxation
- And why not take a night-time stroll in the cool air?
Sleeping under the stars means reconnecting with an ancient, free and gentle form of sleep. By rediscovering this link with the natural night and supporting your body with gentle methods such as magnetic therapy, you can bring a new light to your nights.
