Keeping a Room Chill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not all building have air conditioning, especially those that were built before World War II. However, all hope is not lost. Instead, check out these tips on how to cool down your room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and Cross-Breezes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Box fans are your friends. By pointing one out they window they push the hot air away. Remember to run it anti-clockwise so the heat is pulled up and out rather than pushed around the room. Position a fan across from the window to make the most of a natural airflow. What\u2019s more, you can make a DIY air conditioner by placing a shallow bowl of ice in front of the fan. As the ice melts, the fan pushes a chill mist throughout the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Light<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Not only should you avoid turning the lights on, but you should also keep the use of all electronics to a minimum. Usually, devices like television sets, laptops and phones work overtime to keep themselves chill. Therefore, producing more heat. What\u2019s more, blocking out the natural light will help to keep the room cooler and more bearable when it\u2019s time to sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheets and The Heat<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sheets can be used any which way to beat the heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Hang a wet sheet in front of an open window.<\/em> The blowing breeze will bring down the room\u2019s temperature.<\/li>
  2. Choose lightweight cotton or linen to promote ventilation and airflow. <\/em><\/li>
  3. Stick your sheets in the freezer or fridge a few minutes before bed time. <\/em>We also recommend this tip with socks! Conversely, you could dampen a sheet (or towel) in cool water and use it as a blanket.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
