We keep hearing about how these hot and sticky nights mean that
we won't get a good nights sleep, but it never seems to affect me at all.
I'm surprised because I'm a light sleeper and it usually won't take
much to wake me up. How much does it affect others?

Leaving the windows open and sleeping above the duvet is
enough for me

My room has lots of electrical equipment in and gets very hot in these
conditions. For 3 nights running the temperature has been over 30C when I
have gone to bed. The only way I can get to sleep is to leave the fan on
all night, which is quite refreshing actually.

Yeah, same here. The fan's been working throughout the night for weeks
now :-)

I just prefer the chilly nights! We have the windows open at night
throughout the year.

Hi, Col,

Not the problems up here - most nights are getting down to around 11C
min and 18C is being reached by sunset after highs around 25C. Because
of the refreshingly cool evening breezes, just opening doors and windows
is sufficient. In fact it can get a little cool in the house if I overdo
the fresh air!

My sister is coming up from Slough today - she usually appreciates our
breezes.

Living around 900 feet and within the North Sea influence can have some
advantages, it seems!

ATB,

As a nightshift worker I have to say it's been hellish trying to sleep
during the day.
This morning was not as bad as the air temp' fell to 11°C and the inside
temp. back to a near manageable 23°C. It's not just the heat though,
neighbouring kids and music all increase in volume on warm days. Moan, moan,
moan. BUT - on the whole, the benefits still outweigh the discomforts.

You're just getting during the day what a hell of a lot of people in
urban areas in hot countries get all night. I have no problem sleeping
in midsummer in Sydney; in similar temperatures in the US the heat didn't
bother me, but I was kept awake for hours by the godawful 60Hz rumble of
air conditioners in neighbouring houses (supplemented at one point by the
motor noise of two massive industrial fans that my upstairs neighbours
had directly above my head). Rock music and screaming kids can be damped
with earplugs, but at mains-hum frequencies earplugs do nothing.

I lay awake gritting my teeth and fantasizing about blasting a shotgun
round into the intake of the damn thing across the alley.

As Americans like to say but not do, "if you can't stand the heat...".
What the **** is *wrong* with those wimps?
