Bedroom is a sauna.. any tips for keeping it cool?

[kurt909]

I currently have a fan blowing directly at me. Can't really be good blowing dirty air into my nose etc,

Can't open door as need privacy and it's too loud downstairs.

Anyone else struggle to sleep in this heat?

It is pretty warm, isn't it!

I'm lucky - I live alone so I can have as many doors/windows open as I want and wear as little as I want too, without anybody complaining about it. (The neighbours probably would though, so I angle the Venetian blinds to stop them seeing into the house.)

Not a clue, my house is "environmentally fecking wonderful" (official rating) and I am fecking plotting even in winter. This heat is torture, we have 4 full-on fans on the go. I have just recovered from 2 weeks of the cold and now Mrs Marmion has it.

I wish we were still in our old 200 year old stone building.

Then again, when I lived in Australia I never had these problems. Maybe the "scandanavian" approach was a bit too far...

Have you tried putting a saucer of vinegar in the corner of the room?

What does that do, if I may ask?

Have a shower, get on the bed whilst still wet. That'll cool you down.

Dunno. I was just curious.

No it won't. It'll just make your bed wet

Bear Grylls has the answer.....piss on your pyjamas....

Parachuting into the Sahara, one of the hottest place on earth, Bear uses his skills and adopts little-known techniques used by indigenous tribes to survive. From urinating on his t-shirt to keep cool to eating a camel spider, a deadly scorpion and raw goat's testicles, Bear demonstrates how to avoid dehydration, hunger and heat-stroke.

After a good night's sleep, enjoy the raw goat's testicle for breakfast.

Actually, putting the fan into oscillating mode seems to work better than stationary for me. Good luck.

Yup........... Just tried this, doesn't really work and the wife isn't too happy either,!

Ah well, you still have the goat's danglies to look forward to.

I thought he used the air-con in his motel room when they ferried him back after the day's shooting was finished ...

Grylls spent nights in a motel in Hawaii when he was claimed to be stranded on a desert island.

The Discovery Channel admitted "isolated elements" were not "natural to the environment", and promised greater clarity for the next series ...

Some say that a damp cotton scarf worn round the neck is quite effective.

Yes, you are allowed to use tap water.

I've been on nights all week and trying to sleep in the day has been torture, the bedroom has been as high as 29 degrees, I have a air con unit in the bedroom as my house is generally very warm but it's quite noisy so it's a loose loose situation for me
