Need advice: how can I stay cool while sleeping?

I'm not sure you're going to get a better answer than fixing the fan/buying a new fan.

I wear my sunglasses to stay cool. Because when you are cool, the sun shines on you 24 hours a day!

This past summer I felt like I sweat non-stop from the beginning of June to just last week.
(Loving the weather this week: High pressure, low 70's, low humidity! It's 66 in the middle of the day with the sun out right now - doesn't get any better than this!)

I like to take a wet wash rag and pat down my skin - this can be anytime of day - but it's an instant cool down at night without taking the time to take a shower even if it's only temporary.

One weird thing - I never sleep without a shirt on no matter how hot it is. When I was young whenever I slept topless with the fan on I'd always wake up with chest congestion - don't know why. So I've always slept with a shirt on which seems to keep it from happening, even if it's just a cut-off tank top as long as it covers the chestal area.

I just realized that no one has even mentioned slugs.

I was thinking leaches, as in bloodletting like in the days of old. Just find yourself a medieval barber with a jar of leaches and get some good old blood letting going. That a'll cool ya down
