bummer about the heat. I like the library idea. all the box fans at walmart for $10/ea. is a good idea too. Although it sounds like downing lots of ice cream may work too…

GO TO THE LIBRARY.

Libraries have air conditioning and wifi. And books. And other stuff.

Seriously, libraries are the place to be to have a wild time.

Identify the colder outside location, and add some standing fans placed right up at the windows - literally on the inside windowledge at the screens.

Start by purchasing two standing fans. You want a large diameter, with a full variable speed setting ideally, not just low/med/fast.

Place them in both of the office and bedroom windows. Ensure you can turn them around easily.

Starting with just one of them, have the AC on, the bedroom window close, the lounge windows closed, the fan in the office venting to outside, and set full.

Depending how much airflow your AC gets, you should get a decent draft in the office.

Now for the bedroom, either turn off the fan in the office, or reverse the fan there to blow into the apartment (once outside is cooler than inside, you win with this). In the bedroom window, have the second standing fan blowing to outside.

Totally out of the box thinking beyond that, is to go and invest in some nice summer cotton sheets that you won’t sweat in.
