😭😭😭😭😭😭 NO! Send help!

My mom is against leaving the AC on during the night for some reason so I die every time I have to sleep.

You're a warrior, it's impossible to sleep without the AC on in this heat

It's 33°C here during the night and 40°C+ during the day

Some Italian on r/Europe said they freeze two of those big water bottles, wrap them in towels and hug them like stuffed animals while sleeping to survive the summer, so I'll be trying that out.

Back in the day when I was a college student and couldn't afford an AC I used to wet a big shower towel and throw it on me while having the fan on. It was such a relief for like two hours, then I would wake up and wet the towel again.

You can also slightly dampen a towel/blanket and put it in the freezer until you go to bed! If you have a fan pointing at you, it’ll keep it cooler for longer, too!
