Whether you're in the midst of a heatwave where you live right now or not, most of us are acquainted with the less-than-joyful experience of trying to sleep when it's sweltering — especially in homes that don't have central air.
Even with the comforter discarded to the bedroom floor, it's a unique level of discomfort that can really affect your daytime too, especially if it's causing you restless nights or making it harder for you to fall asleep in the first place. Central air isn't perfect either — for some people air conditioning can cause sore throats, dry skin, headaches and dehydration.
