I bought a "portable" air conditioner that sits inside the room and has two hoses. It will cool my bedroom on the second floor without drawing air into the rest of the house. I usually spend an hour cooling things down 8-10 degrees before bed. Worth every dollar I spent on it.

Bonus, it's a heat pump that can heat the room too. Great as a backup in case the heat failed in the winter.

It really depends on where you are. There are places where summer is the same temperature as some other place's winter.

Also, I hate the fact that in winter you have to stay inside all the time, there's no sun and everything is cold and sad. Spring and Summer are the times of the year when you travel, go out, enjoy nature and make memories.

And if you have a decently insulated home or AC, you can sleep great.

come to sweden, where the winters make people kill themselves and the summers are actually a fairytale wonderland.

I am happy sitting alone on my computer. Sweden sounds amazing.

This is why water beds are amazing

Winter you put memory foam to keep you from the cold water, in summer you sleep on the cold water.

Only downsides to a water bed are: 1. Heavy 2. You have to add chemicals to your mattress as regular maintenance 3. It can't really be extra firm (but a lot more firm than people think)

The water will steal every bit of heat from your body, but you'll stay warm with a blanket

Sometimes I can’t take a bath cause the moving water makes my head spinny. I can’t imagine how bad the water bed would feel lol. I’d probably have mid night breaks for puking.

I just want to wear as simple an outfit as I can and get away with it without freezing, ok?

I quickly acclimate to either, but it's not fun. Low 50f/10C is very comfortable to me by late January while 90f/32C is fine in July. It's the damn December and May that are hell.

Another reason would be you can't use heavier blankets in summer
