Hey everyone!

I’ll cut straight to the chase: I’ve been living in the Netherlands these last couple years, and due to it being close to the sea and other factors it is usually quite windy and comfortably cool.

Cue one of the hottest summers we’ve had in a while and now my cold-seasoned self cannot get used to it being 27°C at night, and as such I find myself writing this at 3AM on a Sunday night.

I live in a shitty small apartment with no AC and my window barely opens, so I’m wondering if anyone has some tips for dealing with this (or if you don’t then you’re welcome to join me in complaining about the weather (I am very bored)).

Thanks and have a nice day !

    As someone who grew up sleeping through hot and humid nights, I’d recommend a stand fan or any kind of fan that’s fairly strong and cotton sheets. Keep your window and door open to allow for good air circulation in your room so that it wouldn’t become humid and musty-feeling.

    I usually have the fan’s back facing either the window or the door. I also prefer the cold air blowing on my feet because it makes me feel like my whole body’s being cooled down. Hope this helps!
