Can't you just run a fan?, personally I have a small honeywell fan. It does wonders!

Hello fellow overheated NL resident! It's not been great the last couple days and why in earth is this country still so keen on pretending we don't need AC?? Anyway thanks for making this thread I'll be reading the tips as well.
On hot summer nights in Brazil it was routinely 27°C plus. No AC, nary a breeze. I learned to sleep with no covers and a fan pointed directly at me.
Get those freezer ice packs for keeping lunch cold or a specialized gel pillow and put in the freezer, then wrap it in several blanket layers and place on your head when sleeping.
A fan can help too.
I hear putting something cold between your thighs can also help. Haven't tried it myself yet though
As someone who grew up sleeping through hot and humid nights, I’d recommend a stand fan or any kind of fan that’s fairly strong and cotton sheets. Keep your window and door open to allow for good air circulation in your room so that it wouldn’t become humid and musty-feeling.
I usually have the fan’s back facing either the window or the door. I also prefer the cold air blowing on my feet because it makes me feel like my whole body’s being cooled down. Hope this helps!
