Rental-Friendly Ways to Cool Down Your Home

A Good Night’s Rest at Vela on Camelback

Disheveled bedding

From improved memory to a strengthened immune system, better mood, and lower blood pressure, a good night’s sleep is essential to your well-being. But for many of us, a restful night is only a dream. One way to fall asleep and stay asleep is to increase your physical activity. 

Lucky for you, you live in a luxury apartment in Phoenix with a fitness center featuring yoga and Peloton machinery. Additionally, the lux pool is a perfect way to get some exercise and relax, both great for improving sleep!

How Does Exercise Affect Sleep?

Exercise improves your sleep quality because it tires you out and increases your need for sleep. Regular exercise also provides significant stress relief, which is strongly associated with sleep troubles.  

Yoga and meditation can also improve your sleep quality,  reduce anxiety, and relaxes your muscles. Both factors contribute to sleeplessness in a positive way.

Regular exercise has also been shown to relieve other symptoms of insomnia and sleep apnea, such as daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and depression.

While exercise is important to improving your sleep quality, it is important to exercise at least two hours prior to going to bed for the night.

Swimming is another great way to improve your night’s sleep. It relaxes your muscles, is a great cardiovascular activity, and cools your body temperature. The pool at Vela on Camelback is the perfect place to take a nightly dip, do some laps, or read a great book. 

 Exercising and swimming are just two ways to improve your sleep. Here are a few other great tips.

  • Reduce your intake of caffeine.
  • Leave your phone and electronics out of the bedroom.
  • Keep your bedroom dark at night.
  • Set the apartment temperature to 60 to 67 degrees to help reduce your body temperature.
  • Try some natural sleep aids like Melatonin.

Keeping Cool in Your Phoenix Apartment

The summer is heating up, but that doesn’t mean inside your apartment has to be hot too!  Air conditioning may seem like the easiest way for keeping cool in your Phoenix apartment, but there are other more eco-friendly ways to keep cool this summer.

These eco-friendly tips to cool your apartment in Phoenix will help you beat the heat this summer.

  • Keep the shades and blinds closed during the heat of the day! You may be tempted to let the sunshine in, but opening shades and blinds can increase the temperature in your apartment, keeping them closed during the hottest times of day and opening them in the morning and evening hours when it cools down.
  • Cool down the kitchen. Turn the dishwasher on later in the evening or early morning and prepare no-cook and crockpot meals on hot days or order takeout.
  • Let the Air In! Opening the windows and patio doors in your apartment during the cooler times of the day and turning on ceiling and room fans to get the air circulating in your apartment making your apartment feel cooler.
  • Diffuse Cold Water. If your apartment is humid, try adding cold water and a few drops of essential oil in an aromatherapy diffuser. This will cool down your apartment and purify the air.
  • Go For a Swim. Take a dip in the Ultra-Luxe pool and Spa with towel service on a hot afternoon.
  • Keep Fido Cool. A clean dog is a cool dog. Take advantage of dog wash in the community Pet Utopia.
  • Still feeling hot? Head up to the sky deck overlooking Piestewa Peak and Camelback Mountain once the sun goes down.

These eco-friendly tips to cool your luxury Vela on Camelback apartment in Phoenix are just one way to go green and be comfortable this summer.
