Not to incur the wrath of people suffering in the heat, but I think this air conditioning thing really isn't for me ( Read more... )

Yeah. I'm with you. I don't usually have trouble sleeping in the heat, though. I actually find it harder to sleep in cool temperature. I don't sleep as deeply.

And with the temperature going up and down with the air conditioning I found myself waking up every time I needed to either pull the blankets up or throw them aside.

I think I'm going to sleep with the windows open tonight and see how that goes instead.

I dunno if I'd want AC while I slept, but let me tell you, my evening activities have consisted of sitting on the couch, trying not to move, and mopping my brow.

Sleeping has been okay. But ones I start moving again, it's hot and gross.

My place has good ventilation so it's better than most even in hot weather. No wind is no wind, though. It's been a dead calm for days and I don't have any fans. If the place is cool when I come home, then it's pretty comfy with the windows open in the evening ( ... )

In the winter, on those crisp, cool nights, I could curl up in a drift of snow and sleep like a baby. This heat makes me sleep like the dead, more akin to passing out than to sleeping. I am not a fan of the hot weather.

My asthma has been pretty good this week, oddly.

They are fun, functional bowls. The new place it pretty sweet, thank you!

The thing with an AC unit is that the air that it blows will always be the same temperature - cold. What the thermostat tells it just to come one when the room temperature is above whatever you set it to be.

So if it coming on and off all night is what is killing you, then maybe try putting it on a cooler setting. In this heat wave, we have kept our thermal pump at 22 for the nights and 24 for the day, and it /rarely/ goes off. (In our case, the thermal pump also doesn't blow directly into the bedroom, so that help with the fluctuating temperatures/nasty "breeze"). Blocking the vent to your bedroom might also be an option.

Good luck!

Hmm. Thanks. I wonder if there's a setting that lets you adjust just how cold that same temperature it blows needs to be...? Right now it's freakin' arctic ( ... )
