My recipe for making your hotel room into a chilly swamp
I suppose I should first address the question many of you will have: Why would one want one's hotel room to be a chilly swamp?
Chilly is desirable because it's best for sleeping. When it comes to sleeping, very little beats snuggling under covers in a chilly room.
The swamp is important for the humidity. I live in North Carolina, so humidity is a regular companion. My sinuses are accustomed to humid weather. A dry hotel room annoys them; a moist one soothes them.
I highly recommend the chilly swamp sleeping method.
Fortunately, the recipe is simple:
- When you hit the hotel room, set up your portable humidifier. (What? You don't have one. Get one. They're cheap. I like this one, but any will do.)
- Run it all day.
- While you're out and about, chill your room to 60 degrees (Fahrenheit, of course).
- When you return, turn off the AC.
- Keep the portable humidifier going.
- Right before bed, set the thermostat to 68 and turn on the AC.
- Keep the portable humidifier running.
You will then experience the joys of sleeping in the chilly swamp.
You can thank me later.

Add a down comforter and this scenario sounds like perfection.
I always assume a good comforter or heavy blanket in a hotel.
