How can I sleep in the worlds hottest and loudest room

Seeking Advice

My parents moved to a bungalow and gave me a room next to the kitchen. The room has a window that opens into the kitchen due to a poorly planned house extension. I can hear everything from the kitchen and the room heats up like an oven. It’s so hot and stuffy, opening the window only makes it worse by letting in more noise. I’m here for Christmas for 3 weeks and I’m struggling to cope with the noise and heat. My parents don’t think I need a fan, but I feel the white noise might help. I need some advice on how to manage this situation.

That sounds tough, similar to a room I once saw while apartment hunting that had a loft-style opening to the living room. I opted for my own place instead. Having your own space really matters.

I miss my university room a lot. Being here for six weeks over Christmas is tough. I’m a night owl and not getting enough sleep is frustrating.

Consider buying a fan or an air purifier to bring with you.

I bought a low-cost fan this morning to tackle the heat without raising the electricity bill too much. If this doesn’t help, I might consider staying with my grandmother. I need to be able to study without being a zombie from the heat and lack of sleep.

Is staying in a hotel an option What about trying an evaporative cooler and a white noise machine

I purchased a fan since I can’t afford air conditioning. I hope it will be enough to mask the noise as well. My earbuds tend to fall out when I sleep, which makes them less useful for blocking noise.

If it’s not too humid, placing a bucket of ice in front of your fan might help cool your room enough for you to sleep.

An evaporative cooler could be a better choice than a fan if it’s dry enough in your area. They’re fairly affordable and don’t require a window, which could be a plus for your situation.
