AIBU to be fed up with using fans at night

I am getting sick n tired of this hot weather. I just want a few days of sleeping without fans on in my room. Fortunately I am using ear plugs to reduce the noise. I want to sleep under covers not on top of my bed.

Live in a first floor flat where I can’t do much due to space and the fact it’s a flat.

Im following the rules of keeping homes cool but not working. it’s 31c in my bedroom.

Our homes are designed to keep heat in. I am so tired and want to sleep for longer

Hopefully you're not sleeping on top of the duvet? That will keep you hot.

Also keep your curtains and windows closed in the daytime heat and open them at night.

Buy a net for the window to keep out moths.

Maybe a dog cooling mat under your fitted bed sheet.

For people missing sleeping under a duvet, you can get 1 tog duvets which give a bit of substance but hardly any heat. I got ours from M&S some years ago, but I think Dunelm sell them now as well.

We have 2 Meaco fans which are great because on the lowest settings they are extremely quiet, but they also have an auto off setting which means you can have them running for x hours and then they turn themselves off.

eBay sell them too

My parents have a 1 tog duvet. Though changing the cover is very fiddly - like putting a sheet inside a duvet.

That's interesting. My DIL found WLI put her in a depressed state so she gave them up.

Nurse is quite excited by the results on her patients of dymista so we're starting with that.

I think many meds ‘can and could’ do they have to mention it - but for many people it’s not a side effect

here is the thread but a few about on mn. Just google
