Record heat here in the Pacific Northwest, and an ice bag on the back of my neck is working nicely.

This works yes, but you have to do it for at least 30 min, atleast I do. I prefer to get a bag of frozen corn and put behind my head or place on wrists.

A little too late now but I'll keep that in mind for next time. (I had my second vaccine shot Friday and a fever the last few days)

If you're trying to survive a heatwave without air conditioning, stick some ice - or at least a cold cloth - under your armpits. It works instantly.

I knew this already

Make sure you are getting good REM sleep as REM sleep is when long term memories are made and it is the most easily interrupted sleep from sleep related breathing disorders. If you are having any sleep issues, get a sleep test.

Ok never knew gums are are like the most powerful thing i had!!

I do that on long drives when it's still a couple of kilometers to go before the next stop.

My son's high school would give out gum to students before their state mandated standardized tests. ( Studies had shown that it increased test scores so the school used this as a test tactic )

If this is true I'm buying gum every day

My elementary school literally taught us this 😂
