Casper is a brand that offers a whole new concept to consumers who are looking to survive hot summer nights. This new concept is cooling sheets and other bedding options that you can place on your mattress to survive hot summer nights. I highly advise you to look into this brand’s cooling sheets.
Room Temperature

Use Blinds
Using shutters and blinds to keep the sunlight from warming up your house too much during the day will provide you with much-needed heat relief when it’s time to head to bed on a hot summer night. Be sure to keep blinds closed in all areas that the sun can peek through during the day.

Fill up those ice trays and place them in front of a fan to provide added cooling relief to any room of the house. This is a perfect option to use near your bed when it’s time to lay down so that you have some cooling relief while you drift off into slumber.

Hmmm definitely not sure on the dishcloths in a bag idea but I can see how the cold hot water bottles could work.
