Suggestions for staying cool durring the summer?

Question

Today was the first really hot day of the year and I really need some suggestions to keep my bedroom cool. Air Conditioning isn't an option. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Answer 1

Tea is very refreshing, much better than all those fizzy drinks

Answer 2

Close shades during the day and open windows at night. Use fans to create cross ventilation.

Answer 3

Fans, lots and lots of fans

Answer 4

keep the house open at night, then close it up mid-morning and close the shades - works great

there's also this really cool thing called A/C - but it's kinda expensive

Answer 5

a fan, keep things dark, and drink alot of fluids!! OMG it is really really hott though I am so scared for the summer!!!! I live in cali so I know it is gonna be way hot I wonder what we can all do!!!!!!

Answer 6

Super simple and virtually free trick: Moisten a towel, then hang it in an open, especially breezy, area. Near a fan or window is a great choice. That's it. There's this thing called evaporative cooling that takes place. As the water absorbs heat from the air around it, it will actually boil into the air, taking that heat with it. Water vapor can hold more heat than most gases in the air, so even though it's technically boiled water vapor, it's making the room cooler. There's only one down side: doesn't work in humid conditions. Use damprid to  reduce humidity, to make for a stronger effect. If you live somewhere dry, there's nothing better.

Stay cool!

Answer 7

just take a really cold shower and don't dry your hair. Or just keep your room dark.

Answer 8

1. Do not participate tense demonstrations

2. keep away of arguments

3.If your climate is dry, hang a wet textile on your window

4.Experience s*x by a pose of minimal body surface touch of each other. (Kamasutra has a few ideas for naivete')

Good luck
