Six Coooool Ways to Beat the Heat [PHOTOS]

Stick your sheets in the freezer for a few minutes before you go to bed at night. Placing them in a plastic bag first is recommended unless you want them to smell like the frozen corn dogs that have been in your freezer since 2012. This won't offer permanent relief but will offer a brief respite from the heat and humidity.

How you conduct yourself in your home or condo is your business. Some of your neighbors may enjoy the scenery should you decide to let it all hang out. Trying to keep cool by sleeping in the buff, some say, is not the way to go because sweat stays on the body instead of being absorbed by the fabric. Your call of course.

Yes, this is real! The 96 cube keeps you cool in the front and the back with three removable ice panels that can be secured with velcro. Yes, optional ice panels are available. ***WARNING....use caution so you're not mistaken for a terrorist!! Check it out here.

Make yourself a DIY air conditioner by taking a shallow pan of water. Fill it with ice and place it in front of a fan. The breeze will pick up cold water from the icy surface as it melts creating a cool mist. If your using a powerful fan, start with the setting on low. It's called learning by your mistakes.

This wonderful invention works under the covers which sends a breeze over the entire body. There's a wireless remote with variable speeds which lights up with your touch. Check out the bed fan from BrookStone here
