This is a great suggestion - I've done this when I'm too hot. Your wrists and ankles are pulse points - so cooling them off helps cool off your entire body.

Other than that, if the AC is in the living room, then I'd recommend sleeping there. That's easy for me to say, our heat waves tend to last just a few days at a time. Otherwise, I'd consider moving the AC into the bedroom. That's what we did before we had a house with central air. I've found that I can take the heat as long as I know I can get a good night's sleep.


One final word of advice - never buy a car in November - you tend to forget about things like AC
