    I was previously convinced that taking cold showers was my only saving grace during hot summers, but this year I got the advice to try to take a warm shower a short while before bed, and I’m surprised to say that it has helped. This is for high 20s though so YMMV for sure.

    Other things that help:

    • Open windows when outdoor temperature is lower than indoor temperature, and try to get a cross breeze going if possible
    • Keep light out of the house by closing blinds during the day
    • Wear linen clothing and use linen bedding, this material works better for warm conditions
    • Fans help reduce perceived temperature by several degrees
