Cool down tips

How to cool down (fast)

We all know the problem: tossing and turning in bed and struggling because your sweat has practically glued you to the sheets. Good sleep in high temperatures is almost impossible. So you can’t really relax or recover. This not only applies to the night, but also during the day. But how can you cool down without air conditioning? We tell you the best tips.

How to cool down without aircon

The obvious solution to a cool, calm, and good night’s sleep is air conditioning. But AC consumes tons of energy and adds to your monthly electric bill. So what should an eco-conscious, budget-conscious sleeper do? Also, air conditioning systems are not that widespread in Germany. So if you can’t enjoy air conditioning, you have to come up with something else.

Verwenden Sie einen Ventilator

If you thought that fans are only there to blow hot air around, then you are wrong. A fan is the best way to cool down quickly without air conditioning, at least if it is positioned correctly. Point fans out of windows to push hot air out. Adjust the ceiling fan settings so the blades spin counter-clockwise, pulling hot air up and out instead of just swirling it around the room.
For the bedroom we recommend a tower fan as they are very quiet but still efficient. You can find detailed information and recommendations here: Tower fan buying guide and Dyson tower fan comparison.

Drink coconut water

Everyone knows that water is essential for rehydration, especially after you’ve been in the sun all day. But it turns out that coconut water can cool you down more effectively than regular tap water in the short term.

The added vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes in coconut water make it a great way to rehydrate after spending time in the sun. It also gives your body new energy.

Create a cross breeze

Even more pro tips for boxing fans: Position a fan across from a window so outside wind combines with the fan to create a cooling cross breeze. Set up several fans in the room to make the airflow even stronger.

Turn off the light

This tip is pretty self-explanatory. Incandescent bulbs (even eco-friendly CFLs and LEDs) give off heat. The use of many electronic devices creates a higher room temperature, which is why it becomes significantly warmer and more comfortable.

Use as much natural light as possible. Keep rooms cool after dark by using minimal or no lighting.

Make yourself some mint tea

But not hot! Misting a peppermint tea bag in some cold or ice water makes the same drink as adding it to hot water.

Peppermint is famous for the cooling effect it produces due to the high natural menthol content in the leaf. Research also shows that menthol has a positive effect on our cold receptors, meaning it helps quench thirst, ease breathing difficulties, and make us more alert.
