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!!!!

😭😭😭

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 Yes, I have blackout curtains. I found them on sale for $15.99 on Wayfair.com. However, it makes no difference in the heat in the bedroom past a certain point.

@4meAndyou crank up the AC?

@iamnikki I haven't rolled the portable unit over to the sliding glass doors and put in the insert yet. I was hoping to wait till June...it is NEVER this hot in May. And of course the bedroom heater never shuts off...no matter what I do.

@4meAndyou Odd, need to get that heater issue fixed. It's plenty hot in May where I live. It's 80 degrees outside as soon as you wake up

@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 have 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.

@iamnikki I can NOT deal with heat like that. AC is going in SOON!!!
