4am and I feel like throwing up. This heat isn't pleasant in the slightest.

I’ve just been woken (by hubby!) sleeping downstairs, much more pleasant and cooling for me and the dog! Now he’s got the dog and I’m off for a few hours in bed
lol 
Thank god I just found this thread.
Gave in and turned the fan back on but I feel so sick. Dreading even walking the dog which I will have to do in an hour to stop her getting too hot.
Spent the night googling coldest places in the U.K. right now.

I am with you all, went to bed at 12 and spent good 5 hours trying to fall asleep but not actually sleeping. My bedroom does cool down a bit in the evening but it’s still so stuffy and uncomfortable!
Not slept a wink all night - an utterly winning combination of the heat and taking my first steroids in nine years today. Who says I haven't got timing? 
Steroids are for a very intense, high dose four days then will follow the inevitable awful, awful "crash" but at least the worst of the heat should be over then.
I've given in and come downstairs, put my big fan on and going to watch Cold Justice!
I stand with every heat hating, grumpy, sleep deprived Tattler tonight

How is it this hot at 7am. My house is like an oven. I’m actually looking forward to being back at work today purely for the air con!
My poor toddler is absolutely dripping sweat from the second he wakes up
also does this heat make anyone else feel really sick? Ive felt SO sick this past few days

have to keep my feet elevated hahaha oh dear
Hot water bottles filled with ice cold water.
Or get the cheap dog cooling towels/mats and use them on yourself put towels in it freezer.
freeze water in any kind of bottle and keep it near as well little things make a difference.

Ok I’ve got a question… windows open or windows closed?
we’ve had all of our windows shut since Friday (apart from the bathroom one) and it’s bleeping ROASTING. Literally having all the windows/blinds/curtains closed all weekend has done absolutely nothing!

Closed during the day with the curtains drawn to keep the heat out - even better if your curtains have thermal backing. Open everything up once the temperature starts dropping in the evening. Leave some windows open overnight if it’s safe to do so.
We’ve got black out/thermal blinds and curtains on the bedroom on the south side of the house so there we have door shut, windows shut, blinds down, curtain closed during the day, and at night we sleep there so fan on, window wide open.
Downstairs and in the north facing bedroom we are working during the day, so fans in and windows open, as in a new build it’s basically just a cooker otherwise

I agree, I can’t even go upstairs at night at the moment! But in the day it’s fine
sleeping downstairs for the foreseeable lol
also sleeping downstairs at the moment
I fall asleep better but it’s hard not to stay asleep in this heat
I take a sleeping tablet and I find it helps me nod off. Cold flannel on my feet works as well.
Rain due on Sat and Sun - thank goodness! But until then 
Our dogs and cat are currently living their best lives on their cooling mats and fan life, I however have had about 3 hours sleep each night since the weekend and tonight I’ve had enough! Sweaty under boob season be gone already....Autumn come quickly!! A towel thrown under the cold tap and wrung out and put around back of neck is actually doing a good job tonight, just praying for a better nights sleep for everyone!
