Comments: A quick hint to beat the heat

growing up in Dominican Republic without AC I already knew this trick. I knew people that would wet their bedheets to sleep on. Man it was hot down there!

Heh, I live in Canada and it's bloody hot here too. Been hovering around 35-40 degrees for the last couple weeks.

(From Alex: I trust that's centigrade... we Yankees tend to think in Fahrenheit.)

Throw your bedsheets in the freezer for 5 or 10 minutes before you go to bed...

For those of you who can't do the conversion in your head, google works :)


35 degrees Celsius = 95 degrees Fahrenheit
40 degrees Celsius = 104 degrees Fahrenheit
