How freezing my sheets in summer became my go-to trick

Back in the day, I just suffered through hot nights. Now, I pop my pillowcase in the freezer before bed. Sounds silly, but it works. Waking up less sweaty now.

Have you ever tried chilling a damp towel instead? I used to wet a small towel, wring it out, and pop it in the freezer for half an hour. Putting that cool cloth on my neck or forehead on a sticky night really helped me sleep. It pulls the heat right off your skin. Now I keep a couple prepared in there during hot spells. That little trick made my summers much more bearable.

Subtle genius, @valm45. My freezer's full of towels now.

That's the kind of summer hustle I can get behind. Sounds like you've really figured out the system. Does the damp towel ever get too cold or stiff, or is half an hour the sweet spot? It makes sense though, that wet cold probably pulls heat away better than just dry cold.
