Last night it wasn't too uncomfortable sleeping, but I think tonight might have been a bit worse.
If you ever want to truly appreciate air conditioning, turn it off for a day when it is 96 degrees outside and humidity about the same. Will make you want to look up Willis Carrier's grave site and lay some flowers upon it.

I grew up without it. Parents had a wall unit in the bedroom and florida room.
