If you’re not doing it already, use fans to move the air around your room. The moving air will help remove heat from your body, effectively making you feel cooler. This is done through what’s called convection.
... Did you actually recommend fans to people who get hot like it's a secret? Is this some old British TV sketch about sheep growing fucking wool or vegetables coming right out the fucking ground lol?
Another reply acting like this is a dumb thing to remind people. Maybe I'm dumb too.
But we used to have a fan that blew air across the bed. Husband loved it, I hated the feeling of air moving across me and would be buried under blankets to avoid it.
After a medical procedure he was sleeping in a recliner for a few weeks while he healed.
I adjusted the fan and ceiling fan so they move air around the whole room, just not directly across the bed. I can sleep without barriers for air tickles, we get the white noise benefit, and the room feela cooler. It works for him too this way when he's in there and keeps him cool enough (I've asked)
Before that I had just assumed you had to be directly in front of a fan to get the benefits, especially when it's too hot outside for the AC to work effectively.
