Hooray for sun, boooo for no sleep

It is far too warm to sleep, I go up to bed and find it impossible to get to sleep so end up getting back up again cause of the heat. What can you do to keep cool?! Argh so irritating

I don't tend to have a problem sleeping in the heat but partner does.. So we have a 12" desk fan at the side of the bed on a timer switch programmed to turn it on for about 5 minutes every half hour..

One slight drawback... Doggies love the cool so they now sleep in the best spot to get the fan so their body heat tends to make it even hotter!!!

Re: Hooray for sun, boooo for no sleep

We have a window open, and just use the duvet cover as a top sheet - that keeps us reasonably cool.

Re: Hooray for sun, boooo for no sleep

I find that putting a bowl of water in the room helps otherwise the air gets too dry.

A good nightcap helps, and I do not mean a fabric one
