Cool Me Down

Sometimes it gets so hot around here it's difficult to sleep at night(to the point I sometimes have to get up two or three times to cooloff in the shower just to get comfortable for a few minutes).I'm curious: given 'x' ambient temperature in my bedroom at night (and'y' relative humidity, I suppose) and closed bedroom windows anddoors, how do I calculate the amount of heat (heat load??) that has tobe 'removed' from my body so that I can sleep comfortably (e.g.,without sweating, without having to rely on the shower, or having somuch heat removed I die )?I don't have an AC -- I'm just trying to figure out how all thisworks.Is there a formula?Christopher A.

With gun control, you can conclude that whatever narrow set of information is studied in the poll might be described in a certain way. When you conclude something bigger, that's when you are misusing the data.
