If you don't have an air condition room and it's really hot can you sleep easily? It takes me time to sleep when it's really hot. Even I still take a bath before I go to sleep. I have to wet my towel and put it over me just for me to feel cool and makes me feel a sleep. Have a nice day to all of you!

Yes, i can. Unfortunately, when i was sent to Manila and stayed there for 2 and a half months, i have no choice but to sleep even if it's very hot. I think from February to April, the weather was extremely hot. I have electric fan in the room but it's not enough. I guess the room really needs air conditioning to be able to neutralize the heat. I think i got my prickly from sleeping in that very hot room. My bed and shirt would usually get wet because of my sweat. I find it hard to sleep but i had no choice.

Hi modstar you said it right February to April until now and it's already May it's super HOT. I don't have an AC in my room just three windows and an industrial fun still I am really sweating. I always hoping it will rain! Even I take a bath it doesn't work out. I still have to wet my towel and cover it on me just to make me feel cooler and make me a sleep. Have a nice day to you!Sorry for the late reply!

I have some difficulty sleeping in a really hot environment! First, due to perspiration that keeps my back and even all of my body so wet which definitely lead to the second reason which is being UNCOMFORTABLE sleeping in such a way. Good thing there is few occurence of brown outs this year and hope it will not happen anytime soon.

i know i can sleep but it will take a lot of time, tossing and turning in bed just to feel comfortable, i like it when its a bit cold rather than hot. I always bath at night just to feel comfortable and will wear cotton clothes and not silk. I also love to put plants inside my room , especially green plants so that the ambiance is so cold.If you know that your house is also safe, just let the windows open for fresh air.
Happy mylotting and smile always.

No. I can't I also do the towel trick when its really really hot.
But most of the time I keep the aircondition on. BUt early in the morning my mom would tun it off. Which pisses me since I have to get up and turn it back on...

I cannot sleep when it is hot. I live in Florida so it is always humid and hot. Either I have to turn the AC to colder, put on different pjs, or drink some cold water and try and go back to sleep.

I can't.I need a cool and dark room when I go to sleep.it doesn't really matter if it is from the electric fan or airconditioner. as long as the room is cold and dark,I can sleep easily.that's one of the reasons why I didn't join the call center industry.I can't sleep when the sun's at its peak and bright sunshine is streaming in my face.

No I cannot. I have a really hard time sleeping when it's hot. We had a problem this weekend. It was almost 90 outside and we had no fans and the air conditioning for the building was not turned on. We had the windows open and it really didn't help. I didn't sleep very well those two days. We purchased a fan for Sunday though because we just couldn't take it anymore and the air was turned on Monday afternoon and it was great. Now I'm sleeping just fine.

Hi highflyingxangel, Same thing here I do have a hard time sleeping when it is hot, well I don't have an aircon at home. But I do have three windows at my room. When it's cold it's really cold, but when it is really hot it's really hot. I usually take a bath before I go to sleep, still I have to put on a wet towel just for me to feel cool. I just think that it should rain hahaha, when it rains I love it the feeling of coolness. Anyway have a nice day! Sorry for the late reply!

Dear friend,
I do take bath if I feel too hot and more as you noted if AC is not there it is really difficult to sleep. But I would just wet my towel and sleep on that, this is what I did when I had to tour in Kanayakumari an hot place during summer in India. I too do the same you do to keep a wet towel over me and lay on a wet towel.

The other day we had 90 degree weather and it was really hott in my room. I even had my window open and fan blowing on me all night n still couldn't sleep. When its extremely hott like that I can't sleep I just toss n turn all night. But when I have my Air conditioner in my room and its warm like that I sleep peacefully. Must be something about it. But I hate nights when I can't sleep though.

Hi my friend caskins, it's making me hard to sleep especially when it's hot. It's not only hot but humid also. So usually I take a cold shower even put some ice on it.It helps me a lot to fall a sleep. But still I wet my towel too to put on me. What a life! I really hate summer! Sorry for the late reply! Have a nice day to you!

It really depends, there are a lot of times that I can't but then there are times where it puts me right to sleep. I usually end up trying a cool rag and most of the time it does work, as long as my feet are out and cool then the rest of e is fine. It goes the same way in the winter if my feet are cold then I am cold and once I warm up my feet usually by soaking them in hot water then my body will become warm and I can feel relaxed.

Hi froggieslover, I am hoping that rain comes, it's much cooler and easy to sleep. But this summer it's really hot, not only hot but humid. I don't have an aircon, it's just a industrial fan that is always in front of me. Still it's really hot! So to make me a sleep I have to take a bath or still wet my towel to put over me just for me to really feel a sleep. Anyway have a nice day to you! Sorry for the late reply!
