    What can I do to stop/reduce the condensation on the inside of the bedroom window. Every morning the window is full of it.

    There's no magic really. You can either :

    1. stop the mosture from condensing by eliminating the 'cold bridge' when the warm moist air hits the cold window. I have modern PVC double glazed windows yet I still get some condensation. So have a look at your windows, the glazing and the frames - do they feel cold to the touch.

    2. remove some (or all ) of the moist air, i.e. better air circulation. We leave our bedroom door open most nights. Maybe some vents on the walls might help.

    3. dry the air, i.e. de-humidification. Not ideal when the room is actually occupied, as dry air is not very comfortable to breath. But might be worth borrowing a de-humidifier and trying it at varyious humidity settings to see if you can get one to work.

    There are crystals you can get in woodies that draw moisture from air
    Dampsorb or Dampsorb junior is a smaller one. It is a small plastc with crystals that draw moisture and eventually they crystal turn to liquid at which point you throw it out. Used in bathroom i do not know if they would be OK for bedroom. Or a plate of salt?
