Too hot to sleep...

I have been trying to outsmart the sun. I went to bed at 11:00 p.m. to try to get in 8 hours of sleep. At 7 a.m, my bedroom turns into an oven.

And my allergies preclude doing this...

And it's not even JUNE yet!!!!

😭😭😭

Do you have fans? The ones that blow you. Gosh I really need to choose my words better.

I use a fan in the summer.

@Matt85 I have three fans in the bedroom. The problem is, I have really bad allergies, and if there is ANY dust or cat dander or what have you, in the room, it all becomes airborne and gets into my sinuses and lungs. It has been so bad that I began to use an inhaler two years ago, and my nose was seemingly permanently congested. I have been taking Tulsi, for almost 2 months now, thanks to a suggestion from WandererTony on this site, and it has FINALLY cleared up.

But now the hot weather is here again, and I won't be able to sleep without the fans and the AC.

I've been experiencing the same thing. I've taken my covers off the bed and have been sleeping with a simple flat sheet over me.

Even with the AC on, sometimes I'm still hot with that.
Try blackout curtains. I'm just too cheap to buy them

@iamnikki Oh you poor kid!! It's 70 here today, outside. Inside, because it is such a problem with the heaters, it is almost 80.

@4meAndyou If I turn my AC off, which I often do, it gets up to 85 degrees inside my apartment. Sometimes I tolerate it for as long as I can, along with the fan right in my face and a cold drink. Then I [i]have[/i] to turn on the AC so that I can sleep
Edit to add it was 84 in my apartment yesterday.
I turn it off and don't let it run all day.
