staying cool

When the weather gets hot and humid like it did the past few days, I find it becomes a challenge to stay cool. At work, it's no big deal because the buildings I go to are usually well air-conditioned (sometimes too air-conditioned - at least to the women working there). In my car, depending on how long it has been in the sun, I can usually expect a blast of hot air upon entering the vehicle, but the air-conditioning works well enough to cool the area in a pretty short amount of time. At home, we have central air to provide our air-conditioning/heat. Unfortunately, the warm and humid nighttime weather seems to cause the air-conditioning unit to continuously run overnight (or so it seems). What I've also come to realize is that for some reason, this is not enough for me. Therefore, I have installed a clip fan on my side of the bed to assist in cooling the area to a point where I can sleep comfortably. I have heard that it is not all that unusual for guys to do this - I guess guys have a higher internal body temp than women, I dunno the scientific facts (if there are any to support this theory). True, I know the body temp for people drop during sleep, but just getting to that point is sometimes an exercise in frustration during this warm weather. As far as I can tell, Duksim has no such problems...5 minutes and she's out like a light...with sheets on, for crying out loud...
