Whenever you get to hot and need a quick cool down and the air conditioner just doesn't seem to be cutting it, there is a technique that I use to make a quick concentrated cool down. A fan works, but most of us know unless your standing right in front of it it really doesn't do much to cool down quickly in a room. 

Looking for a quick cheap anyone can do fast cool down? How fast, it takes as long as it would take you to tie a knot!

this works like a dream. My husband came up with a similar idea years ago for the night time -clipping a top sheet to a fan with a strong bulldog clips- we use a turbo fan btw- it definately makes the humid nights more comfortable. Separate top sheets are a good idea if you have a partner who doesn't feel the heat.

That's actually a funny coincidence, when I first started doing this I used those curtain rod clips to secure the sheet and after awhile the clips just started to disappear so i just started knotting them tho save time and cost, the fitted sheets elastic band was the trick. I once used a floor style fan and several sheets all pined together to cover my hammock, so the stronger the fan the better the effect. As for my partner she hates it, why? Who knows, probably a fear of enclosed spaces or something. I'd still rather be cool and relaxed than hot and sweaty, just keep my head stuck out somewhere.
