Sleeping in heat

Just get a fan and point it at you, feels nice!

A little fan works well for me. It sounds weird but I'm sure the sound of it helps me get to sleep too!

I just sleep in my boxers.

Staying back with my family in England just now, and raging about the design of houses here. I'm used to it being mid twenties at night, that's fine- slide open big doors, whitewashed room, lie on bed in shorts, sorted, but since everywhere here is built to keep heat in, I end up lying in a puddle in lower temperatures than Taiwan. Bah, get me back there

Oh tricks. Go walk around outside in your underwear. Worked for me when I was acclimatising

I've got excellent insulation in my house. The walls are covered by several inches of insulation and there's a foot or more of it in the lofts.

It's mid 30s in here at night. Right now I have a window open and a 12 inch fan going and it's still 26C.

lol yep can't beat winter proof houses, just don't show them a real summer. well it's an improvement today at 27c at 4sm over 28c yesterday.

opening windows when you live close to farms can turn into rather bitey evenings, hmmm, deet on, check, lights off , check. commencing operation open windows!

i slept from about midnight to 3am-ish.

yeah I struggle with the heat. sigh

Think yourselves lucky. Its 1am and I'm at work which means I will be home and attempting to sleep during the day. If you think its hard in 20deg at night, try my first floor flat which must have been hitting 35deg during the day. Oh and sunshine, great..

Same here

sweating like Kwerk thinking of a thread starter

Mind you working at night is far better in this weather.

I bought this on Monday for £280 and it has been a godsend! It de-humidifies while keeping temps at around 19C. The only issue is that you can see in the link it's now £240. Do I have a leg to stand on with regards to £280 vs £240 considering that I only bought it 3 days ago? I definitely recommend it though, just felt cheated on a miss promo.

just buy another and take it back with the original reciept
no need to unbox at all

How about opening window, and leaving your door open and opening another window in the house to allow air flow? Works well.

robj20 · 19 Jul 2013 at 07:34

I sleep in the cellar on a camping bed, a cool 11c

oxygene · 19 Jul 2013 at 07:58

I live in on the south coast so we're getting the hottest temps, but I do ok. Havent used a cover in a week and a half, and have my fan on and windows open. The problem is although that keeps me cool enough its only at the expense of noise. I live overlooking a main road, so you get drunken idiots at all times of the night and people revving and honking all night long. So although I'm cool enough I wake up now on average 3 times a night.

sbi5ar · 19 Jul 2013 at 08:15

Hate it... Don't have a fan... Don't have the windows open (due to the millions of spider nests outside the window!) and to top it all off the other half burns with the heat of 1000 suns! It is neigh on unbearable, resulting in very restless nights

Was awake almost every hour last night alone!

LiE · 19 Jul 2013 at 08:24

It's fine with a fan.

boobaca · 19 Jul 2013 at 08:29

wtf is going on with fans , I've checked every shop i can think of nearly all the fans are out of stock apart from the 150-200 quid ones, am i getting ****ing trolled or something ?

Schizo · 19 Jul 2013 at 08:33

I work night's and my room has the sun on it all day,reaches 40c in my room sometimes

Sui · 19 Jul 2013 at 08:34

I think it might just be because everyone wants a ****ing fan?

Freefaller · 19 Jul 2013 at 08:54

Well I've been sleeping fine and I'm in a great mood!

Just thought I'd let ya'll know

Yeah, Argos, Homebase and Wilkinson's were all out when i went to buy. Had to settle for something from B&Q, seems to be doing the job.
