Anyone else too hot to sleep?!?

[EmberR]

Too hot to sleep and my mind is now in over drive…. What’s keeping anyone else awake??

Maybe the fact that it's not even bedtime yet!

Top tip, get yourself a T-shirt, soak it under the cold tap, ring it out and lay it on your back/side while you’re in bed… absolute game changer for me and my little girl this week!

My husband and son are fast asleep?! I’m just lying here and got myself into a state

I'm staying up as long as I can. Last night I lay there for 2 hours wringing wet. It's no fun.

Too early for bed for me. Why don't you get up and watch tv for a while?

Can’t go to be this early ! 🤣 although I can start to feel a breeze through my windows hopefully by the time I go to bed will have cooled down!

Similar to @PopThatBench I recommend soaking a sheet in the shower, wringing it out and sleeping under/on that. By the morning it'll be bone dry.

I use a fan too, which makes it really cool and also provides white noise to drown out the effing seagulls at 4am 😃

Grab a chiller bock from the freezer and hug it to you like a hot water bottle!

I have the fan on and windows open but yikes it’s sticky.

Anyone else find they over think when they’re over tired? I am feeling a bit sad about some personal stuff and it just is going round and round in my mind

No, I'm never warm, wearing a vest top to bed with light pyjama bottoms is a rare treat. I usually wear fleece pyjamas.
I know I'm in the minority. DH is dying from the heat.
I apologise I missed your update. I hope you're okay.

Yup. Time for cola callipo lolly. Back downstairs to the kitchen I go. I am so bloody knackered. My eyes feel heavy but it is too way too hot to sleep. I think it’s meant to cool down by 5am. 💤

@EmeraldShamrock000 thank you for asking. I’m OK just sometimes life gets grrrrr

@PopThatBench omg thank you! Was lying in bed reading this thread and saw your comment. Just soaked a pj top and got it over me now 🤣 definitely helped 🥵

It certainly does! Hope you manage to get some sleep.

Silence is a bitch when you're stressed.
Can you play some calming music to help you relax?

Cold shower, windows open, fan on. It’s ok.

I am so bloody hot - my usually comfortable bed is so uncomfortable my husband's CPAP is annoying me and I was getting myself into a right bad mood.

Decided to get up for a bit the dog and I are enjoying the downstairs fan I'm snuggling the ice packs and just had a cold snack.

I'll be even more bad mood when the 3 year old wakes up at about 4 .. yay.

Im in SE coast. I'm under a duvet as it's not that hot. 23 I think.

Yeah me

Scrolling on tiktok and mn isnt helping but its bloody hot

A piece of advice I was given - if you have a fridge big enough and a pillow small enough - is to put your pillow in a bag and store it in the fridge during the day.

Yep!

I’m sleeping downstairs with the door open and a fan on. Give it two minutes and the bugs will all be crawling over my iPad screen and driving me mad 😳

Ive had a banging migraine for 2 days long wish it would piss off.
This is why i hate the summer not hate as such the heat brings them on badly.
Ive been in sunshades for 2 days.
When it stops i know it will start all over again with days of build up symptoms and some of them are awful.
Bring on winter and freezing weather.

No. Icepacks in the bed. One by your feet, one by the torso and one under the back. It's not hard to come up with this.

I presumed it would be so I haven't bothered going to bed yet. Just went and sat in the garden looking at the stars for half an hour to try to cool down.
