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??

That sounds horrendous and your are going to soak the bed when you "lay" it on you.

Hot water bottles in the freezer (if space allows) so at bedtime you have a nice frozen block to take to bed

I invested in a portable air con unit this summer and it was the best decision ever. Bedroom is currently freezing. The only downside is both DC are in with us to escape the heat so I’m uncomfortable and can’t sleep anyway.

Don’t do it then?
I’ve just said it’s helped me and my little girl sleep this week and you’re replying to say it sounds horrendous and I’m going to soak the bed…
No, it does not soak the bed because it’s a wet T-shirt that I lay on top of me… how big do you think my T-shirts are?

I’m just home from work, my whole house is too hot from being closed up all day. My bedroom is 28 degrees so windows and doors are open and I’ve got a fan in to try and cool it down. I’ve got a thumping sore head so I’m hoping it works and I can get a decent sleep 🤞🏼I’ve got to do it all again tomorrow so I need sleep
I hope everyone gets a reasonable sleep.

It’s so nice isn’t it!
It’s bone dry by the time you’re fast asleep but helps you fall asleep!

It would be lovely and cool in my room if my wi dows were wide open, however my neighbours are being fucking noisy!!! Im guessing the parents are away and the teenage sons have got friends over (selfish pricks)

Buy one of those blue-coloured, pet cooling pads (B&M etc) to lie on.

I actually bought a medium sized one for DS, and it helps him sleep (slightly better, not a miracle solution though).

I bought a new 100% cotton mattress topper this week, and new pillows.
Pillows especially made a big difference.
I went upstairs to the roof garden for a bit - it's about 6 floors high, not blocked by other high buildings, so always quite breezy. Unfortunately my apartment is on the ground floor, plus I have a cat, so I can't have the windows open.
A bath with lavender might have helped last night - that and the new pillows & I slept really well.
feels sticky now though.

I've had some stressy stuff going on too OP and I'm always worse when I don't get enough sleep hope things settle down soon for you.

I've just had a cool shower and it's cooling down here a bit now which is nice, just having a cup of tea then will head up to bed.

@Katemax82sorry to hear that. My selfish neighbours are mercifully quiet tonight but it is the absolute worst and ruined last weekend for me. Sending love!

This was me last night, big hugs x

Yes unfortunately, like a lot of people.

I'm usually an insomniac but tonight I can't sleep and feel uncomfortable. We're forecast here a slight drop in temperature from now on 🤞

And for some unholy reason I have snack urges, garage opens at 6am. Cheap chocolate and tea at that point.

Yup, I'm awake and 9 months pregnant 😭

Yup. Woke 1am and again at 4 and just too hot and hard to sleep. We have a guest in our living room and ti's a tiny house so no chance I can get up. Husbands just started snoring too...arghhhh

I damped down a towel and lay on top of it and that worked well.
