That and, right before bed, I'd take a cold-ish shower with a long t-shirt on, then when I was done I'd squeeze the t-shirt dry but it would still be coldish-wet, and then right before bed I hung it up in my closet and jumped it bed and it managed to keep me cool long enough to fall asleep. Frozen water bottles help too, you can sip them AND lay them on your chest or neck to cool you down.

You just have to improvise. :o) And don't worry, when I'm home in 13 DAYS you can come to my basement apartment where we don't even need AC it's so cool. :o)

Try yogurt with banana pieces...it may be a little more substantial until you can eat something better :)

Keep those babies cool ;)
