5 Surprising Ways to Stay Cool During a Heatwave

I love the summer season, but not the extreme heat. It’s exhausting and tiring to do anything in this cruel temperature. Although having an AC at home will make our life easier during this hot weather, there are still some tricks we can do to keep ourselves cool. Here are 5 surprising ways to stay cool during a heatwave by Insider Tech.

Fill a hot water bottle with cold water

Once you fill it up, place it inside the fridge or freezer to cool it more. This will make it last for a longer time.

Shut your curtains or blinds

Does your room get a lot of direct sunlight? Curtains and blinds are the solution. Close them during the day to block the sun. A darker room is a cooler room.

Turn off all your electrical appliances

Did you know that your appliances emit heat? You might want to turn them off. Turning off the appliances that you are not using can make your room stay cooler.

Make your own air conditioner

Don’t have an AC at home? No problem. You can make your room cooler with ice and an electric fan. Fill a bowl with ice and place it in front of your fan. This will make the air cooler.

Freeze bed sheets

Have you ever tried putting your bed sheets in the fridge or freezer? If you haven’t, you have to try it. Just fold it and place it in your fridge. Take it out and use it once you are ready for bed. This may help you fall asleep in this hot weather. Just make sure to put it in a plastic bag so your mattress will not get wet.
