I am what is called a “hot sleeper.” Whenever I go to sleep my body temp starts to rise, to the point where I feel feverish and clammy.
I find it so unusual, because at all other times I have no problems with overheating.
If anything I am in good shape and fair health, it is only when I rest that my temperature spikes. There is no medicine that can help me with this, so I had to get creative. I talked to Ed, the guy who handled my annual HVAC inspection, about getting a custom cooling system for my bedroom. Ed had a lot of good ideas, and was aware I didn’t have a lot of extra money to spend on a new cooling system. He recommended a new product I had never heard of before. It is a small air conditioner, no bigger than the size of a space heater. Instead of having air vents it has flexible air ducts attached to the side of it. These air ducts are two feet long, and can be moved in any direction. By sitting this cooling unit behind the headboard of my bed, I could air the air ducts directly at my pillows. The air conditioner would flood my upper body with a consistent air flow of 68 degrees all through the night, and thus offset my “hot sleeping.” The best part about all this was the cost. Ed hooked me up, and I got instant cooling relief for my condition for less than two hundred bucks. What a deal!
