If your AC crapped out, what's the best way to stay cool in the house?

Especially at night when it's time to sleep.

A fan and freeze some wet hand-towels and wipe yourself down. Ice water next to the bed.
@cherokeepatti I've also heard of putting a bowl of ice in front of the fan. I might try that tonight if it doesn't get fixed today! Thanks!

@FigNewton It’s miserable to try to sleep in the heat. And many cities it’s not safe to open the windows at night and sleep.
@cherokeepatti Luckily I live in a small and pretty safe town. Although it's the critters I'd be worried about! It's pretty woodsy behind my house!

@FigNewton If you have a dog inside your home that can help alert you to any pests trying to get inside.
@cherokeepatti No dogs...we had cats but no longer. And those little buggers woulda run out at the first open window opportunity! :)

@FigNewton You don’t have window screens on your windows?
@cherokeepatti I do but those cats would have figured a way to push them out...or scratch a hole in them! :) Loved those little monsters.
