too hot to sleep

Offtop: it makes me smile when you use Fahrenheit

Other: When you want to feel hot, go to the corner. There is 90 degrees

I live in high desert, so while it gets hot on summer days, it also cools down at night, usually.

I have a terrible time sleeping if it's over 75.


I find that wet socks helps a lot. I am by far the most sensitive to what the temperature of my feet are, and the moisture has a big cooling effect. This works in dry climates, and might not work as well in humid ones. Putting your feet in a bucket of cold water for a while helps, too.

sounds like you live in a a place which would melt me. unfortunately there is no substitute for good interior climate control. passive techniques would be metalized window film on the sun-exposure windows, white-painted rooftop, overhangs on the sunny side, whole-house fan to move colder lower air up through the attic to flush-out the hot stagnant air there. this would at least keep things from getting TOO hot, though still uncomfortably warm. you probably have a problem with humidity as well, only AC can take care of that. if you live in a flat it is best to live in the bottom floor, hot air only rises to the higher floors.
where in the world are you, anyways?

Nothing beats lying there ass naked on the rooftop under the stars!

i cant sleep when its like 30 to 25 degrees outside or more below 20 its alright. now that summer is almost going for another year. 1st day of autumn tommorrow yay

I've always had to have an air conditioner on at full blast even in winter. My parents would always try and turn it off and tell me to stop using so many blankets but if I don't use the blankets I can't sleep. Even with a specialy designed weighted one, I still need at least five comfortores.

<20C @night, >32.2C in the corner
