Ok, maybe I'm just spoiled somehow, but that's REALLY high for sleeping. If it's over about 72 I just straight-up cannot sleep. I can flex that a little with good airflow and low humidity (windows open).
I can't possible imagine having to sleep in that temp after a full day of strenuous physical activity. I guess if you were somehow used to it but that seems crazy.
Furthermore, does this cooling strategy (minus the AC units shipped in) even come close to offsetting the burned fossil fuels to actually move all these athletes to another country and set up the games? Asking cause that seems kinda relevant....
I can barely sleep at 70 degrees. Anything more and I just wake up covered in sweat and dying. 79? I'd probably just die.
I set my ac to 74 over night. Sometimes even 75. Depending on humidity levels and outdoor air temp, I might drop the indoor temp to 74 and then once that indoor air temp is hit, just turn off the ac and open the windows. Place stays cool over night.
But 79? Yeah... No.
Yea, I live in bog swamp-ass Houston. It's currently 83 degrees out at 10 pm. No way in hell I'd open a window to sleep. And if I did I would probably get west nile or some shit.
So instead of Spiderman you'd become Mosquito-man?
Pls no radioactive mosquitoes. Pls no radioactive mosquitoes!
Seriously though don't you guys have screens on your windows to keep the bugs out?
That's a standard feature here in Minnesota.
You really underestimate the ferocity of these big ass mosquitos. Think the ones from Jumanji.
RIP Robin Williams
How could you be spoiled when you only sleep in a refrigerator??
