"It's only a dry heat." That is what they say. Perhaps today will be the hottest day of summer here in northeastern Oregon. But it shouldn't get over 85 F in the shade at my campsite. So far this summer I haven't used a water bladder to cool off at night, because my 7-year-old refrigerator isn't performing so well.
Instead, I have used an inexpensive battery-powered fan, available online. (Its blades are only 8" in diameter. It has a lithium battery that charges up via a USB cable.) I am surprised at how well this works, when aimed at the upper torso or head at night. And it is so quiet!
If a person were perfect, they would redirect their thoughts away from any source of annoyance in their life. If you are not particularly good at that, the alternative is to add something to the background that distracts your thoughts away from the annoyance. That technique has usually worked with noise, and it also works with heat and this little fan.
