Thankfully, nearly 1,000 people from all over the world who grew up without AC shared their hacks to beat the heat.
SLEEP ON A WET SHEETIt might seem unconventional but some people use a wet sheet in order to stay cool during the summer.
To utilize this hack, drench the sheet in cold water using your towel and lay on the bed with your ceiling fan on.

One person from Tennessee grew up without an AC and said used frozen bottles of water near her bed as she slept.
“I’d wake up a few hours later and switch the bottles out for others in the freezer,” said Lauren Van Nostrand.
BLOCK OUT THE SUNReflective screens aren’t just for your car, you can use the same technique in your home.
To block out those harsh rays from the sun, you can tape aluminum foil to your windows.
Be sure to cover the backside of the layer with something else such as insulation or cardboard.
This can also reduce glare, which can be a nuisance inside your home when it reflects on computer or TV screens.
SPRAY YOURSELF WITH WATERIt’s a simple method, but it can still be very useful.
Get a pump sprayer and fill it with distilled or purified water and spray your body, especially your face and head.
John Furring from Santa Maria, California also suggests spraying your shirt and hat with water as well until it’s damp.
“I call it ‘artificial sweat’ and I find it amazingly refreshing.”
COOLING COLOGNEThis method keeps you cool and smells great!
Lily Adamson lives in Valencia, Spain and says the heat can get unbearable if you don’t have an AC.
“I use baby cologne to cool off,” she said. “I douse it over my neck and shoulders and because it's mostly made of alcohol, it immediately [evaporates and] refreshes.”
To keep the cologne extra cool, she keeps it in the fridge while not using it.
PULL IN COOL AIRBox fans can do more than just provide temporary relief from the summer heat, they can also be used to pull in cool air from the morning and night.
“As soon as I get up at 6 or 7am, I open the windows in every room and prop box fans in the sill,” said Meenakshi Ponnuswami from Pennsylvania.
“Around 9 or 10am, I take the fans out, close all the windows, and let the fans run on the floor of each room.
“Right now, it's 90-plus degrees outdoors. Inside, my fan is blowing lightly on my back as I sit at my desk, and I feel chilly enough to move my location.”
SLEEP OUTDOORSSometimes, the inside of your home is just too hot and you might have to resort to the great outdoors.
The coolness of a summer night might fare better than staying inside, according to some.
Malaka Gharib spent her childhood summers in Egypt and said the heat would get so bad, that she would sneak out to the balcony of her home to sleep outside.
If you can find a comfy spot to lay out your pillow and a thin sheet, it might be the better option to snooze outside.
Other options to keep cool are to avoid using the oven during the hotter parts of the day and instead cook in the morning.
Cold dishes such as pasta salad can also keep your body temperature down along with lemonade and iced tea.
Going to the movie theater could also help!
