How to deal with the heat?
Blackout curtains, portable AC

Best fan for cooling (don’t care if it’s expensive)
Where can I buy an air cooler in town? : r/madisonwi
Only been living in Ohio since end of summer 2021, and always lived in a small apartment/house that kept cool. Now I live in a larger house with 5 roommates, and the cold air from the AC simply does not reach my bedroom. My room is consistently aroind 80-85 degrees.
I have 3-4 fans running all day long, and at night when it cools off I have my windows cracked. In the day I close the curtains to keep out sunlight. My room is still way hotter than the hall, I walk out and just get a blast of cold air. I know a few of the contributing factors to the heat. I have a gaming PC which obviously produces a lot of heat, but I don't use it during the day cause I'm at work usually until 9pm. I also have a pet lizard who uses a heat lamp in her tank, but the inside of her tank is around 85 degrees, same as my room. I feel like one heat lamp shouldn't make my whole room that temperature, but I might be wrong 😅
My point is, what are some good ways to keep my space cool during these hot summer days when AC isn't an option?
Blackout curtains, portable AC
I grew up in olden times in the South without air conditioning and my bedroom was the attic. The best trick my mother ever taught me for hot nights was to lie underneath a damp towel with a fan blowing on me. Shivering in minutes, guaranteed!
