Tips for Staying Cool Without A/C

So far the summer of 2018 has been a HOT one with record-breaking temperatures and not much relief, even in the evenings. Oh sure, it’s not that bad when you're inside with your A/C cranked, but what happens if it decides to stop working and you can’t get a technician out to investigate the problem for a few days? For many of us, sleeping without our beloved air conditioning is a nightmare! There is nothing worse than not being able to get a good night’s sleep because you're tossing, turning and sticking to your sheets from sweating so much. Have no fear! We have come up with these helpful tips and tricks that will have you on your way to dreamland while feeling cooler and more comfortable.

  • A good place to start is by using light coloured cotton sheets instead of silk, polyester or satin. Cotton is a breathable fabric that allows better airflow and ventilation for your body and your bedroom.
  • Chill out by having a cool shower or bath right before bed. This will help bring your body temperature down.
  • Your freezer is your best friend! No, we aren’t telling you to go jump in that big chest freezer in the basement but there are a few tricks. Try placing your bed sheets in a plastic bag and put them in your freezer a little bit before you are ready for bed. Ice packs strategically placed on well know pulse points (wrist, neck, elbows, ankles and behind the knees) are another great option.
  • It is a well-known fact that heat rises, so head for the lowest place possible in your home.
  • There are a couple of different ways that using a fan or multiple fans can be to your advantage. Place a large bucket or bowl full of ice in front of your fan and allow the fan to push around the cooler air generated by the ice. You can also set up 2 fans so they are creating a cross breeze (one sucking the hot air out and one circulating the air in your room).
  • Ancient Egyptians have proven that taking a large bath towel or sheet, soaking it in cool water and wrapping yourself in it as an effective cooling method. Be sure you wring out all the excess water from the towel or sheet so you aren't left with a soaking wet mattress.

The above tips may seem a little unconventional but they may be just what you need to get you through until your A/C is functioning again. A few other things that you can do to prevent the temperature from rising in your home is to close all blinds and curtains during the day when the sun is shining brightly, avoid using the stove or oven to cook as they generate heat and unplug all TV’s and computers, as they still give off some heat even when they are not turned on.
