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 !

    This might be basic, but a cold shower before bed is seriously helpful. Heck even a cold shower if you’re too hot to sleep at 3am. Wet skin + a fan and I’ll be cold even at 90F

      What I found out when taking cold shower is that right after my body start to warm up again I get sweaty pretty fast. That may be counter intuitive but taking a hot shower makes me feel cooler when I get out of it.
