I’ve learned that not wearing pyjamas just soaks the bed with sweat, so might as well wear them and just change them out in the middle of the night as and when needed.

I’ve learned that sleeping with the window open only does nothing but ensure that I hear the birds at 5 in the morning

I’ve learned that a decent blindfold works better than any curtain

    I have a dehumidifier at home that does only this and the heat is exhausted indoors instead of outside…

    It’s not that useful as the room heats up more than the humidity being removed is worth, but I’m considering getting a cheap portable ac unit but I’m worrying about how to install it on my window… And the efficiency being much worse than a properly-installed heat pump where I can close the window when I use it…

      oh no, the excess heat should be vented outside, usually with a tube connected to something rigged up to close the window.

      We’ve used cardboard cut to fill the gap, with a circle cut out to fit the tube, and the whole thing sealed with duct tape…ugly but got the job done so you can sleep (and make a better solution)

        Yeah, I’m aware the heat needs to go outside… But I’m not a fan of isolating things with cardboard. And the dehumidifier is just that and doesn’t have an exhaust pipe.
