Dear Diary: I Just Chose To Sleep Last Night After A Session Of Cold Body Compress After A Hot A Day

It was so hot yesterday that after the earthquake I asked mother to give me some of the basin with water and ice so that I can cold compress my body with the cooling effects using my thin handkerchief. I had done it for a few hours and that made me feel well.

It actually made me feel drowsy because I felt good as if I am in a cold room. What I am doing is soaking my handkerchief with the cold water, wringing it a bit and placing it on my chest and abdomen allowing it to absorb the heat from my chest and abdomen, the electric fan helps dissipate the heat.

I also apply the cold compress on my legs and arms and neck area. That is what I do in the late afternoon where it is not so hot anymore that I am not sweating anymore. It is like what some Russians do after doing their Sauna bath where they jump into the icy water.

I intend to do that everyday because it feels nice and I also feel comfortable sleeping afterwards. In fact I did slept last night because of its drowsing effects. It is nice when the hot and cold plays into our bodies, it gives us a good sense of well-being.
