Advice from Amy Dickinson.
: My husband and I have been talking about spending more time outside, whether it be working, camping, or just sitting outside.
I feel like I’ve been so spoiled by turning the air conditioner on as much as I have been, but when there’s no breeze and it’s 80°F, I have to turn it on, otherwise it gets so hot in our kids’ room that they struggle to sleep.Is there anything else I can do to keep it comfortable without turning on the air?My past jobs were housekeeper at a feed mill, welder, general laborer for a feedlot.
If you don’t have an underlying health issue, you should be able to acclimate somewhat to working outdoors if you do so gradually, increasing your exposure over time. And yes, you should be able to acclimate to a warmer temperature inside your house by a couple of degrees if you change the setting on your AC, but you should not make any changes until you receive a clean bill of health.
