Trying to sleep in this heat!

[dronefromsector7G]

This but buy 2 fans 1 either side of the bed works wonders :)

Already onto it mate :-)

Oscillating fan, Talisker and a turgid book has been doing the trick for me. Audiobooks with comfortable headphones work really well depending on the tone of the narrator.
As a general rule though if I can't sleep I stop trying and get up and do something productive. If I really can't sleep and I start feeling anxious and can't shut my mind down because it's of paramount importance that I'm fresh in the morning then as a last resort I'll bosh a diazepam.. Always does the job but it's usually a weird unsatisfying slab of sleep and I feel a bit cheated in the morning.

A good wank always helps ... allegedly.

I started a thread at the start of the heatwave and people were having a go at me,anyway I was told from a bloke at work to open my attic hatch oo er :) and I must say I noticed it became a lot cooler upstairs. also ive got a fan and the mrs made me buy a summer quilt,must admit without the million tog quilt it does seem a little cooler.

1 is never enough though.

Turn the air con down from 78 to 75 half an hour before bedtime.

And bamboo sheets/pillow cases.

Get a hot water bottle and fill it with cold water, you might laugh but it works.

No one heard of air conditioning units? Bedroom is cooler than my fridge.

Put your pillow cases in the fridge for a while before you go to bed.

Put a damp towel over you
