Sleeping Cool

RE: Sleeping Cool Post By BlissMama (Guest Post) (06/18/2006) We have AC but I don't like the high electric bill that comes with running it. :-) RE: Sleeping Cool Post by Ziggee (143) | (06/18/2006) Contact I dip a small towel in water and peppermint extract. I find that the towel will stay cooler longer when it is around your neck. I also put the water and peppermint extact in a bowl in front of the window fan and it keeps the ice nice and cool longer than without the extract.

RE: Sleeping Cool Post By Jeanne (Guest Post) (06/15/2006) I've added your ideas to my file of hurricane and post hurricane tips. It is usually so muggy, hot, and dense with mosquitos that any relief is wonderful. I think I would even crack the freezer (while it is on the generator) enough to slip the sheets in and out.

Nights were only barely more tolerable than days. Take your clean sheets, keep them in a plastic sack, put them into a freezer until about 30 minutes before you go to bed. Make your bed, turn on an oscilating fan, wait ten minutes, and your sheets will be cool enough for a little while and you can fall asleep.
