Any creative ideas to beat the summer heat?
 

I am sick and tired of this summer heat. Over 100 degrees during the day, and above 80 degrees night time. Yes my home and office is equipped with air-conditioning. At least it is not humid as the East Coast. But I cannot stand the heat. I do use the conventional wisdoms such as drinking lots of water, and religiously working out early in the morning. I work here so I cannot move to the beach.

I set the thermostat at 78 degree nighttime it works well for everyone else but me.
I don't sleep well night time and I don't function during the day time.
Any suggestions?

You sleep better at night if you set the temp lower at night, IMO. Here we have to in order to keep the interior humidity down. The other thing is that your office may just be recycling old air, so the quality is poor.

beer :thumbup:

I don't do well in the heat either. It is 30C here, not high for So Cal but unusual for Vancouver. My work thermostat has been lowered (I had to pry the tamper-proof cover off, but it was worth it). Home thermostat is on 76 day and night. Suggest you buy the other family members a down quilt, it worked for me.

78F?? I keep mine between 65F and 67F!!

I think you have to train your body so that you get used to the heat. I just went to the beach to catch up on some tanning yesterday, it was hot but now I can pretty much deal with the heat better. It takes time getting used to.

If you think SoCal heat sucks, what more for our Arizona and Nevada neighbors. I would probably cook my meals on my forehead if i did live there and save on gas/electricity.

72- winter, and summer

Spring and fall we keep all the windows open.

Try taking the subway in NYC in July/August.... you've all got it good in comparison...

"I set the thermostat at 78 degree nighttime it works well for everyone else but me."

buy a room airconditioner from costco or sams club (I don't know how many times i've mentioned these wholesale stores:rofl: but they have a lot of good S**t) for $100-$200 and you can set your own temperature for your own room.

I see you are living in hot hell. If nothing else works there is always suicide.
