Well, maybe a fan, would help.i realize that it is hard to sleep.when it is hot!!
Put a wet cold flannel on your head and get a little fan. Keep drinking lots of water too. Go and fill the sink with really cold water, then immerse your hands and arms up th the elbow and keep them in there for a couple of minutes. The cold water cools the blood travelling through the arteries. Do it every so often. I do this with my kids and it works. It's much easier than having a cool bath.
take a cold water bath all over
Portable air conditioning from B & Q or Viking Direct. Works a treat but you must close the windows or it wont work. Any icy cold soft drink or Iced tea does the trick.
cold shower or have an ice lolly or have a massive water fight..cos its fun then aswell! Turn on ur AC if you have it, but being that you posted this question, I'm guessing you dont.
Take a cold shower/bath, lay down in front of fan, try not to move alot, that will make you more hot. Have a basement? Stay down there for a while
A good trick when you do not have an AC is to use a simple fan and wet towel. Put the wet towel in front of the fan living half of it free to circulate the air. You can also put a bucket of water at the bottom of the towel to keep is wet the constantly. It will provide you with a bit cooler air.
You can also put the fan in front of an open window to bring outside air inside. Do that during the night when the air outside is pleasant.
Other tricks are to put you bed linen in the refrigerator for a while or spray them with water.
All of those tricks sound funny but actually work when there is no AC and you are desperate for a good night sleep.
Run cold water over your wrists, this is where your arteries are and will help you cool down quicker - TRUST ME! I'M A DOCTOR! open a few windows and a door, the breeze will filter through. sit in front of the freezer with the door open. jump into a cool bath! have a cold shower!
get some ice water and throw it at yourself!
Sit, as I do, with your feet in a bowl of cold water. Simple, cheap and chilly. get some ice and cold water and a flannel and keep rubbing all over you will soon cool down
try a fan
run your wrists under the cold tap this will cool your whole body.
Stick your head in the freezer.its ace Oooooh, I know! I got some of that Magicool stuff, it really does work! and you don't have to spray it directly on you, you can just spray it around the room. Do you want to try some?
put on a pair of shades/sunglasses ypu might not feel cool but at least you will look cool
Cold water everywhere. If you can't pour it on the floor, leave it in buckets. (I can't wait to see your neighbours faces when they come round.)
Get some babywipes. Johnsons are the best. Wipe one round the back of your neck and over your feet regularly. And also drink plenty of water.
