Summer nights, the only problem with this season is the heat. We know there would be no summers without the heat but sometimes it just gets too unbearable.

Most of summer nights I also toss and turn as the air conditioner stops working due to the rising climate. So, what did people in older times used to do with no artificial cooling systems?

15 Tricks that helps you sleep in summer nights

Simple, they had ways which worked like wonders under a simple fan. We will be sharing some amazing ways with you as well and hopefully you will be well prepared for the next summer nights when the heat wave hits us with a blow.

1 : Wet Sheets 

My personal favorite is getting my bed sheet wet and using it as a duvet on me under the fan, what happens is as the sheet cools down I cool down under it too.

2 : Ice Pack converter 

The name is fancy but the working is definitely not, a simple hot water bottle that helps you keep warm in winters will also help you keep cool in summer nights if you fill it with water and shove it in the freezer hours before you sleep. Take it out when frozen and use it to cool your body down.

3 : Freezer Sheets 

Get your bed sheets and pillow cases in a plastic bag and stow the bag in the freezer. Once you are ready to sleep use the cooled sheets to help you cool down while you sleep.

4 : Shedding clothes

If you are wearing a pajama and a top, start with wearing a sleeve less top or a vest which are light in material and will help you pass the air around your body.

5 : Windows

Open cross windows across your house, which means opening windows at both ends of your home. This helps in crossing the hot air out and the cool breeze in.
