    For anyone struggling to sleep during this heatwave, and stuck without adequate AC - try this: wet a t-shirt, hand towel or similar, wring most of the water out and lay it on your chest in bed.

    That got me through many summer nights during my renting days.

      Wet a hand towel and drape it around your neck and shoulders.

      Damp facewasher between my wrists was a good one for me.

      Wet face washer/towel, plus fan or a big piece of flat cardboard to emulate Nerfertiti being fanned by her harem. ✨✨✨
