This method consists of using a damp sheet as a cooling blanket . Watch:
1. Soak a sheet in cold water.
2. Wring out the soaked sheet by hand until thoroughly dampened, but not dripping.
3. Put a dry sheet (or dry towel) on your mattress and lie down on the bed.
4. Use the damp sheet as a cooling blanket .
There you go, thanks to its humidity, this wet blanket will refresh your body all night long :-)

Instead of the sheet, you can also use a towel. The important thing is that it's wide enough to cover as much of your body as possible.
You can also spin the soaked sheet with a spin cycle in your washing machine.
Here are some other great tips for beating the scorching summer heat:
- You can also try sleeping in an “arms and legs spread” position to better cool your body.
- Similarly, the body cools down faster if you sleep on your side.
- Spray your sheet with a little water and place the sheet in a large freezer bag and put it in the freezer. Take out your extra-fresh sheet just before going to bed. And don't forget to sleep barefoot, with your feet out of the sheet.
- Turn your pillows according to their temperature, so that you always rest your head on the cooler side of the pillow.
- In the hours before going to bed, do not drink drinks that contain caffeine.
- In a spray bottle, mix 90° alcohol and water, in equal parts. Spray this mixture on your body to refresh yourself.
