    We tend to use an electric fan..placed pointing towards the bottom of the bed, and we let it move about so it circulates the cool air.

    I used to use a large desktop fan, sat on top of a tall wardrobe and pointing slightly downward, running on the slowest speed and oscilating :)

    worked a charm.

    btw, Lidl have a tower fan on special atm, somewhere around 12 quid I believe.

    Leave all the upstairs doors and windows open, so the air blows through the house.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Yes..................sounds to good to be true, but they really do work!
    I ordered 2 and am looking at ordering another 2 for abroad (they get a bit to heavy to carry in your suitcase when filled).
    The last 2 nights where its been especially hot, I've slept like a dream. Worth every penny.

    Open the loft hatch to give the heat somewhere to rise to and leave your bedroom door ajar.

    bloody hell a bit expensive!!!!

    All I do is get a freezer block like one you use for picnics wrap it in a tea towle and just use it like a hot water bottle. Last night I was so hot I got it and just layed it on my chest. It was lovelly. Also it will only cost you a few quid.

    any ideas gratefully received , my daughter lives in a maisonette and above her bedrooms is a flat tarmaced roof, she has every window open upstairs at night but still her children especially the baby find sleeping difficult. She has fans but because of the flat roof the temperature is 28* in the middle of the night... last night she had to take the baby downstairs and sit in the garden with her till she cooled down , sponging with cool water helped but as soon as she goes back upstairs the baby is sweating again.... I don't know what else to suggest ....
