Keeping Your Bedroom Cool Without Air Conditioning
Summer days can get hot quickly, leaving you looking for ways to escape the heat. If you don’t have air conditioning or you try to minimize using it, how can you keep your house cooler, especially at night when you’re sleeping?
Here are some tips:
- Use a fan. Either install a ceiling fan or use a stand up fan to help circulate the air inside your room.
- Do not allow the sun to enter your room. When the sun is shining through your window, close the shades to minimize the heat that comes inside.
- Utilize cooler outdoor air. If you sense that the air is cooler outside, open your windows to let it into your room. This will allow the cool air to circulate in the room and also freshen the oxygen in the room.
- Add tall plants outside your room. The tall plants can act as a covering or shade for your room, thus reducing the amount of sun that can enter.
- Use a cool pillow mat. Fortunately, there are cooling materials that can help lower the temperature of your body, which will give you more comfort at night. A cool pillow mat will chill your pillow, so you can rest more comfortably.
- Choose cotton sheets for your bed. They are lightweight and allow better airflow around your bed.
- Wear loose clothing when sleeping. Avoid tight and heavy clothing, as it will trap your body heat against you.
- Create an alternate air conditioning unit. Be creative by grabbing some ice and placing it in front of your fan, so the air passes through the ice and becomes cold.
- Turn the lights off. Lights generate heat and increase the temperature of a room. Capitalize on natural light during the day and turn lights off when you leave a room.
