- Remove blankets
- Sleep alone
- Put on cooler clothing
- Drink something cold
- Use a magazine as a fan
- Open a window if it is cooler outside
- Turn a fan on
- Turn the air conditioner on
- Use something frozen, like ice cubes, put against the skin
- Wipe the face with a cold washcloth
- Wrap ice in a wet towel
- Lay on wet towels on a sheet of plastic
- Sit outside on a cool evening
