I can't bloody sleep!!!

[ohwhatfreshhellisthisnow]

It's hotter than the actual sun in my bedroom, fan on full blast, wearing an oversized t-shirt to preserve my modesty,been up since 4.30 due to similar conditions this morning, full day of work, same tomorrow, and I CAN'T SLEEP!!

Help, what can I do!??

I have no idea as I haven't slept properly in months but I wanted to send you solidarity. (But turning off screens and going and doing something mundane is supposed to help, good luck I wish you a sleep filled night)

Do you have a thiish towel, large scarf or muslin? Run it under the cold tap and wrong it out til it's just damp, t-shirt off and put it over you.

I managed a nap this afternoon (nightshift) doing this when my house felt hotter than the sun

is it cooler in another room/on a sofa (depending on house/flat layout) could you sleep there instead until it is cooler?
if not assuming you have a fan and not an aircon unit if you grab a tub of ice/cold water and place it behind the fan it should direct cooler air towards you
hope you get some sleep and you can cool down xx

I'm the same. My flat is like a sauna. It's so much cooler outside here!! Not sure why it's so hot inside it's unbearable. I also have a fan. I barely slept a wink last night. I eventually fell into a deep sleep at 8am this morning and won't up at midday feeling sweaty amd disorientated.

Do you have any ice packs, wrap them in towel and lie them next you. You will soon còol down

This honestly I managed some sleep last night with a cool damp muslin over me

I put the fan right by the open window and it's starting to cool down a bit.
Had a cold shower too.

This works really well!

Thanks everyone for the tip about the damp muslin. It's still roasting but it's some relief. Hope it works for you OP
