Sleep and recovery: start with regular timing
Sleep deserves a place alongside exercise and meals. A first change can be a more predictable bedtime and wake-up time.
Habits
Activity in hot weather: change the timing and expectations
Heat changes exercise conditions. Your result on a cool day is not a compulsory target in midday heat.
Put it into practice
Choose a cooler time, shade and an easier session. Bring water and have a way to stop if you feel unwell.
Things to keep in mind
Stop and move somewhere cool for dizziness, weakness or nausea. Confusion, fainting or severe deterioration require emergency help: call 112 in Bulgaria and the EU.
Your next step
- Choose a cooler time
- Reduce effort
- Recognise warning symptoms
