Turn on the air conditioning at night?
Not a solution for many.
The common assumption is that you get sick faster.
Is that true?
No, because low temperatures alone do not make you ill.
However, they can put even more strain on an already weakened immune system and thus promote the outbreak of a viral or bacterial infection.
Would you also like to forego the commissioning of an air conditioning system in view of the rising energy prices?
You don't need a lot of high-tech to quickly achieve a comfortable temperature in the bedroom.
With simple tricks, even a hot summer night will not boycott your sleep.

Is it hot in the bedroom?
These tricks cool you down – cooling bed linen also helps
Hang damp towels and sheets: Dampen a towel or sheet with cold water, wring it out, and hang it over either a drying rack in the bedroom or over the tilted window.
The cooling effect comes about because heat is extracted from the air as it dries.
Ventilate properly: It is of no use if you "ventilate" the warm outside temperatures inside.
Therefore, only open windows and doors when it is noticeably cooler outside than inside.
Repurpose hot water bottle: Are you lying in bed and can't sleep because of the heat?
A hot-water bottle can be extremely helpful - if you fill it with cold water instead of hot water.
Simply put it on your warm feet and refresh yourself.
Turn off electrical appliances: TVs, computers, and other devices emit heat when they are on or in standby mode.
It's best to turn everything off.
Putting up plants: Houseplants have a cooling effect because they evaporate irrigation water into the environment.
If you tend to the flowers and water them before going to bed, you can also benefit from the relaxing effect.
Choosing the right bedding: pajamas and bed linen made of warm flannel are not the right choice when it's hot.
It is better to go for lighter quality such as silk or mako satin.
Climate-regulating properties make these the perfect summer bedding.
