Answers:
I have found when I need to go to bed early, prior to getting up for a very early start at work in morning, and it is a really sticky humid night as I can't afford air conditioning and my fan does not extract the humidity to stop myself sweating, and feeling clammy and uncomfortable I remove two or thee trays of ice cubes from my fridge and shove the bits of ice under my bottom sheet before climbing in for my sleep!.

This makes my bed wet, but it soon dries out but meanwhile I have got myself nice and cool and conquered the heat and fall asleep easily and wake up refreshed in morning ready to start work!.

This idea seems to work on me, but I emphasise only do this in summer when it really is excessively hot and humid when I go to bed which in my country's summer climate happens only rarely!. If you did that on a cold night the wetness you are lying in could then be harmful to your health!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
