Tips for sleeping in muggy weather? (feddit.uk)

I've learned that not wearing pyjamas just soaks the bed with sweat, so might as well wear them and just change them out in the middle of the night as and when needed.

I've learned that sleeping with the window open only does nothing but ensure that I hear the birds at 5 in the morning

I've learned that a decent blindfold works better than any curtain

For the hot humid nights the only real solution is air conditioning, we’ve had it for the last three years and it‘s bliss!

However… we also:

  • open all the windows early in the morning to replace all air in the house while it’s cool.
  • We have an awning over the downstairs south facing window to keep the room cool, and keep the south facing curtains/blinds closed upstairs
  • have massively insulated the loft and are adding wall insulation this year
  • have fans on to circulate air in the house.

Thanks to all the above we have not needed the AC so far this year.
