I guess everyone under 24 is a failure.

I mean...I paid more than 500/mo and it was only because someone else failed to understand the concept of serve and protect, and actually I just looked at the bill...my insurance at this point is just under 2000 a year at 30 years old...so I have to assume all of this crap is still effecting me.

Look at the companies chosen for your "quotes". If you pay those rates, yes... you fail. That would completely be on you and your choice. You can find cheaper. Hardly an "average" when some of the other major companies have been left out... Geico, State Farm, Progressive, etc.

Yeah, you would have been considered high risk. I'm not talking about that though...

Totally forgot about the possibility of RC's.

These hot nights I feel like I could get 9 hours and still feel sleepy as if I had only had 1 hour.

Holy hell! I thought it was bad in the UK when I was 17 and paying £1,200 a year for a 1.1 MK3 Fiesta!

Blah !Solution: Portable A/C , output-> 6" ducting -> length to your bedside...Score
A/C makes me feel sick. Sometimes headaches and other times like I want to puke.
A little bit of A/C in the distance, set on low is OK. But to much of it and I feel ill. So never in the bedroom.
Problem is this place isn't exactly design for air flow.

Damn...I guess well placed windows fans to create a nice draft is your only hope.

I've setup my room like a computer....
Got 2 of these in the window. One on top and the other below. One on top is sucking hot air out and the one below is blowing cool air in.
It helps some, but like a computer.... It also depends on the air temps outside.

I would recommend moving one of the fans but keeping the same basic principle and for this reason.
With both in the same window you are bringing fresh air into the mix but it is the moving the air across your body that will really cool you down. In the same window much energy is wasted because of the percentage of air just doing a loop in front of your window rather than acting like an efficient exchange and most importantly it is not bringing the moving it across your body.
For instance if you leave your bedroom door open, have the fan blowing out in there and put a fan in another room sucking in you create a wind tunnel of sorts out of the path. To boost the efficiency of that flow you can close other doors in the home and jam a towel in at the space beneath the doors which are closed.
This wont do so good during the day but at night when it is cooler it will help you tons...when I lived in the ghetto and hand no money for anything 2 fans was all I could afford to run unless I wanted to not have a computer.
The other option is the super ghetto air conditioner (swamp cooler) which is basically, fill a strainer (screen type) with ice & suspend it over a catch basin , then have a fan blow across the ice at you , it is not pretty and if done wrong completely unsafe...but when I lived on a second floor that hit over 100 in the house and had horrible insulation from the attic, it was the only way I could sleep.

I always keep the bedroom door closed, so at night I really only have to worry about that room. I have 2 windows in my room, side by side. And like you said, already keep the fans in their own window.
It gets up to 100 - 130 in my house (second floor with an attic above it)

Basic design of my bedroom
Green notes where the windows are. Little box notes where the door is. Though not noted, closet is next to door (before windows).
It gets very hot in here. Tried having wallpaper in here once.... Bad idea. Ended up tinting and peeling in the summer.

Funnily enough, starting this Sunday we're supposed to be getting a heatwave for the following week so I'll defintely be embracing that and making the most out of the upcoming hot weather.

Looking at the digi thermostat behind me...I am perfectly comfortable at what is currently 66F
From what you chaps over there describe about the UK , there is a lot of rain and that plus heat is soooo horrible..I do feel for you.

Heard that as well, and I'm doing a 12.12 mile trail run through the Peak District on the 14th, so I hope it's not here then, otherwise that will be torture!
