Here are some tips to help you fight the heat during a power outage, maintain good sleep, and protect your health.
Tips to stay cool during a power outage in the middle of summer
Spread bamboo mats on cushions, seat cushions, sofas
Before air conditioning became as popular as it is today, bamboo mats and electric fans were a familiar heat-fighting "combo" for many families. Even when there is a power outage and the fan cannot be used, bamboo mats still help you cool down quickly thanks to the extremely cool bamboo surface.
A small note when using bamboo mats is that this product is very susceptible to mold in humid conditions. Therefore, you should dry the bamboo mat in the sun after washing. If you find that the mat is moldy, you can use a slice of lemon to rub the entire surface of the mat, then use a damp cloth to wipe it to remove the smell and finally dry it in the sun.
Sleep on the floor
According to Health & Life Newspaper, if you can normally sleep well on a mattress in an air-conditioned room, when there is a power outage, you should move to the floor to sleep. The cold air from the air conditioner combined with the coolness of the floor will help you sleep more comfortably.
Cool compress
Not only when you are sick, you need to cool your body, this summer is also an opportunity for you to try the feeling of cold compresses. In case it is too hot and there is no "help" from a fan or air conditioner due to a power outage, wet a towel with cold water, then apply it to your neck and nape. Because these are 2 parts with many nerves that control body temperature, this way of cooling is extremely effective.
Keep the room cool
Keeping the room cool is also a way to prevent heat in case of power outage. At this time, open all the windows and main doors of your room so that the wind can enter the room and cool your room to help you sleep better.
But if your room previously used air conditioning, this method will cause the room to lose its coolness.
Frozen pillow
If a cold compress is not enough to help you sleep well, then in case of a sudden power outage, you should cool your pillow a few hours before going to bed. The method is extremely simple, you put the pillow in a plastic bag, then put it in the freezer. However, do not let the pillow stay too long because of the cold, it is best to only leave the pillow for about 2 hours before going to bed. Resting your head on a cool pillow will definitely beat the summer heat immediately.
Power outages on hot days turn life upside down
Body mist or cool compress
According to Vietnamnet Newspaper, in the hot and humid summer with power outages, mineral sprays and cool compresses are also effective ways to combat the heat. Mineral sprays or wet compresses on the body not only help you hydrate but also add minerals to help the skin stay healthy and feel fresh. You can spray mineral sprays on the face and neck, which will help bring a more comfortable and pleasant feeling.
If not, you can choose small misting devices for your room. The mist from the machine will humidify the room to help you feel more comfortable, and when adding your favorite essential oil, it will bring a much happier and more relaxing feeling.
You can also wet a towel with cold water, wring it out but not too dry, then apply it to your neck and nape because these two areas have many nerves that control body temperature, so it is very good for cooling the body.
In addition, soaking your feet in a basin of water or adding a few ice cubes to the basin of water will make you feel cooler.
Use electric generator, electric fan, rechargeable fan
With modern advanced technology today, the use of electric generators, electric fans, rechargeable fans is quite popular in the market. Using these types of machines will help us cool the body quickly and have a more comfortable and good sleep.
