Make up your bed Summer Style"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/a>It’s Florida — the hot weather is here, and so are my hot flashes. \u00a0I keep the a\/c on about 77, turn it to 75 at night and keep a fan blowing on me wherever I sit. \u00a0Despite that, last weekend I hot flashed so consistently that I soaked through several changes of clothes, my bed sheets and pillow cases. \u00a0 \u00a0Three loads of laundry later, I decided it was time to make up my bed summer style. \u00a0 Off with the comforter altogether, I put fresh fitted and top sheets on my king size bed, and soft absorbent towels on top of the pillowcases. \u00a0Then I folded another sheet in half lengthwise \u00a0and that would act as the sheet I actually lie on. \u00a0I placed it diagonally across the bed, since that’s how I sleep. \u00a0I placed another \u00a0doubled king sheet next to it, to pull over me for a cover. \u00a0I can use one layer if I’m warm, or both layers if I’m chilly. \u00a0Then, if I sweat through the double folded top and bottom sheets, I simply pull those and the towel off to wash and don’t have to remake the entire bed. \u00a0I wish I’d thought of this 17 years ago!<\/p>\n
