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

Injustice.

Le Rack · 10-06-2005 12:21AM

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!

Alana · 10-06-2005 12:24AM

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 · 10-06-2005 12:24AM

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 · 10-06-2005 12:24AM

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 · 10-06-2005 12:28AM

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 · 10-06-2005 12:33AM

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

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

OfflerCrocGod · 10-06-2005 12:34AM

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 · 10-06-2005 12:36AM

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

monkeyfudge · 10-06-2005 12:36AM

oooh lots of flowers in the attic...

DonkeyStyle \o/ · 10-06-2005 12:37AM

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

Pet · 10-06-2005 12:48AM

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 · 10-06-2005 01:06AM

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!

Sarky · 10-06-2005 01:16AM

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

kaimera · 10-06-2005 01:19AM

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.

rainbow kirby · 10-06-2005 01:20AM

/me really should get some sleep... :rolleyes:

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!

It's too warm to sleep
