Yeah, same here. I sleep in converted attic, where its freezing in winter, roasting in summer.

Injustice.

i just haven;t bothered going to bed yet cuz I know if I do I wont sleep for ages and I wont get the computer back till tomorrow night!

Open windo...sleep naked , get fan, or sleep downstairs, just be glad it aint Australia...but yea tis a lil on ye ol stuffy side

monkeyfudge

Yeah. Converted attic here too. It's freezing in the winter, but somehow holds all the heat from the house in the summer. Also the electricity isn't working in my room either at the moment... that doesn't help much.

I slept on the sofa downstairs last night, but I don't think my back can take that again. It did give me the opportunity to watch Halloween 3: Season of the Witch on the telly though...

passive

mee toooo . stupid attic. And i'm in the middle of exams so i'm trying to sleep early(ish) and wake early..taking an hour to go insane and doze off doesn't help..

nesf

I'm in an apartment that consists of the upper floor of a two storey built in the 50's. It's freezing in winter, and horrible in the summer.

I'm seriously contemplating a third shower for today just to cool down. But I know it'll do little to help me sleep, will just wake me up more.

oh.. but Irish heat is the worst.. so much humidity...

that said I have never been to Australia... Brazil was pretty hot in January though... but I found it more bareable than this Irish heat.

nesf

A friend of mine is just back a week from a 6 month tour with the Irish Army in Liberia.

He's finding it very cold atm.

8 more days to halloween, Sil-ver Shamrock...


Oh.. and the evil Irish plot to kill everyone in america was pretty cool...

OfflerCrocGod

I'm also in an attic but I'm half Italian so I'm used to far hotter summers then this, so HA! Also I'm an unemployed bum so I don't have to get up early, double HA!

nesf

I'm not so much an unemployed bum as a gentleman of leisure with broadband.

monkeyfudge

oooh lots of flowers in the attic...

Another attic-dweller here :eek:
Yup, freezing in winter, boiling in the summer... luckily I've got my giant fan.
A really good way to lower your temperature is to fill your sink with cold water and submerge your fore-arms in it for about a minute... aah refreshing

I was looking at fans in argos today.

The floor "tower" fans look very nice. I really don't have the room for it tho

It was really warm in town today, it was like being in Paris or something (except all the mess and rubbish and dirt took away any illusions I had).

You should get one of those portable "pen" fans. It probably wouldn't have any effect, but you can't deny its a portable "pen" fan, and therefore portable.

I've been looking at them on thinkgeek.

Shiny.

And usb powered is always going to be a plus for geek points.

It's 1am and 25oC here. Madness.

Has anyone tried any of those dehumidifiers/portable air-con things you see in the likes of B&Q all the time?

poobum

i couldnt slp last nite because it was to warm with the covers on and too cold without! realy crappy! was awake till 6 in the morning at least! damn birds singing...so happy after ther full day of sleep.....i kept just moving about...and was all sweaty...not very nice!

Portable fans are the bomb. Kept me from passing out in the car in France before.

kaimera

I'm tempted so tempted...

I spent a stupid amount of money on books recently tho... Not sure if I can justify a fan*.


*yes I know, I could buy a cheap one. But I hate cheap things. I want expensive things with loads of buttons to press. I like buttons.

Flick through the book really quickly to make it act like a fan. Save money, and help your speed-reading!

Ireland's bloody warm these last few days OK - I can wander at night in a t-shirt.

Going to work in Macedonia in July - bet that'll be bloody warm....

See. I can do that in winter. I've always been someone who never felt the cold normally.

Summer is always hell for me.

25 degrees? I take it you're not in Ireland, can't be more than 15 degrees here right now.

F*cking humidity!

Or pay some kid a fiver to stand over you doing that all night - oh wait, that would be creepy.

I'm exhausted now but I refuse to go to sleep before 2am at the earliest!

they make lots of noise, the dehumidifiers you're not supposed to have on when you're asleep in the room either (don't ask me, it was my dad said it!)

I'm in the attic too, and although it is cold in the winder, I have a radiator that you plug in (not a fan heater thing and not a storage heater) and I put a timer plug on it and put it on about 15mins before I plan on going to bed and put it on ever few hours for 20 -30 mins, cause the room is so insulated it holds the heat for a long time, so it's not so cold when I'm in the room, but in the summer, cause it's all wood, it is like a sauna, which sounds good in a way, but not when you're trying to sleep!
I'm off up to my sauna now!
goodnight everyone!

Sarky

Blimey, what's with all the kids these days living in the attic? Do you get fed a bucket of fish heads every fortnight as well?

There's a tiny fly that keeps landing on my screen every minute or so.....

I can't bring myself to squish it.

I got an annoyin little fly bounding of my monitor too :mad: . I suppose it's better than a big fly makin that buzzin sound though. Now where did i put that newspaper.

Danger_Dave

Ye it really is to hot, mabye because we all have computers on, a hub, possibly a tv and other electronic equipment?...or is this just crazy talk ?

Mossy Monk

i'm cold

petes

Far too warm even with the window open in bedroom. Then woke up this morning after eventually getting to sleep, looked at both alarm clock and phone and was convinced it was 10:10 and me in for 9. Rushing about like a mad thing to realise it was only 9:10. And if there is a fly in my room I wont sleep. I hate the bastards especially the buzzing ones.

joejoem

Yeah I remember when I moved home from Florida I had no jumpers or jackets and everyone was talking about the "Heat Wave" that was ongoing. I found it freeeeeeezing. Although yesterday was fairly muggy I slept like a baby from 10 last night till 8 am this morning. See the photo below, do you like my bed?

You bet - Skopje turns into a 40C dustbowl at times in summer

RuggieBear

still way too big. Tis only allowed to be 300pixels wide and 150 high

have a look at the rules here

joejoem

its only 200 pixels wide and 150 tall - each that is. No mods have said anything, I think its ok, just let it be. - also lets not hijack the thread

*Page*

by 6.30 it had cooled down( the time i was going to bed) ......

petes

If only there was a fan in the office at the min I could have a wee snooze. Its roasting here. Although my air conditioning is on.(Window behind me is open)
