1. Have you tried a weighted blanket? I bought one this summer as I don't have a/c but find it hard to fall asleep without the feeling of a big blanket covering me. I found this one[0] from Bearaby which is wonderful. It's weaved together so doesn't provide much/any warmth. Just a lot of soothing weight.

2. This article - "How to Fall Asleep in 2 Minutes or Less" - helped me fall asleep quickly: https://www.artofmanliness.com/health-fitness/health/fall-as....

I have similar issues with sleeping hot. I bought a similar open-knit weighted blanket from yaasa this year and really like it.

Having a small fan blowing air over me also helps quite a bit (the Vornado 5303DC has a remote and can adjust in 1% increments which is very nice for adjusting temp a bit during the night).


He should fiddle with the thermostat first (low low low) but I agree with the fan thing, although its more of a white noise thing to me as opposed to the sensation of wind blowing (over) you


I wonder if he's tried—erm, nature's original 2-minute falling-asleep method... Like, taken his fate into his own hand(s), so to speak

Weeds, the show, immortalized it as "nature's Ambien"
