I was lying in bed the other night trying to fall asleep when the power went out. With the electricity went the fans and the mosquito repellent nightlights. Immediately I could feel sweat start to run down my face, legs, and arms. My already sweaty back turned into a pool. My hair was drenched with sweat. With my great fragrance of sweat came the mosquitoes. I was so thankful that the outage was short and the fans were running again within an hour. The air from the fan felt really nice against by sweat drenched body.
I bought foam for my bed to help my back problems. Foam is an insulator. Now I'm trying to figure out how to keep the foam but stop it from making my back feel like it's on fire. I might take one of the coir mattresses and put on top of the foam or buy an thin cotton mattress. I need a buffer or I'm going to roast.
My roommate did tell me the A/C man is coming Sunday to maintenance the A/C. That should help a lot. The heat doesn't bother me during the day. I'm use to running around doing errands in the heat. I'm from southeast TX. I'm not use to sleeping in the heat.
It's been in the 100s this week during the day and the low 80s at night. Honestly, it feels cooler outside than inside most of the time. I think it's about circulation. We definitely need to do something because it's just going to keep getting hotter. I've read that it can reach 115-120 F but people have told me it can on rare occasions get up to 130 F. I'm not sure who to believe. I just know it will hot here for the next 5 to 6 months.
