how to cool down when waking up sweating

Post by napstress » Sun Jun 24, 2012 5:14 pm

I discovered a wonderful way to cool down when waking up sweating at night (for whatever reason): detach the hose from the mask and direct the air to the body. Feels great and helps in getting back to sleep quickly.

Three fans are in the bedroom, just waiting for when they are needed.
I'd have AC on 24/7 if it wasn't so expensive.

I recently purchased a mattress cover made with CoolMax. I am waiting for a rather hot night and see how it goes to know for sure but so far things seem cooler.
