Goodness gracious it feels like a toaster oven. My fan does little. Sleep is hard. What can I do about this?

Air conditioner. Buy one. It doesn't get better without it.
In the meantime:
Get some small towels and soak them. Wring out and place in the freezer (use wax paper between to keep them from freezing to each other). Once frozen (usually within an hour or two - depends on how wet they are), take one out and wrap around the base of your neck. Exchange them as needed.
Take a shower. Go to bed wet. Don't dry your hair - in fact, wet it again after it does dry.
Freeze water in soda bottles or whatever is available and put them (in a dish pan ) in front of the fan. Exchange as needed.
Open the TOP part of the window as well as the bottom - it let's hot air escape."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

If you have 2 fans, put one in the open window in your bedroom facing into the room, and another one in another room in an open window facing out. Cool air is pulled through the rooms by this method and vented outside via the second fan.

When I lived with my parents in south Texas, we had central air but my mother would not allow anyone to turn on the air conditioner at night. One of the things I did to keep cool was getting my pajamas wet and turning on the ceiling fan. I did eventually buy a window unit.Curiosity never hurt anyone. It was stupidity that killed the cat.

The cracks that usually form in the dirt in the pasture are big enough to reach your hand down into -- been a while since I've see it that bad.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

They're about $200, and can be moved from room to room. Often, there's just one vent hose that needs to be at a window.
They're really quiet and energy efficient, and they serve not just to cool, but to get rid of some of that $@&$&# humidity!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Did yours have kind of a "dryer hose" vent to the outside?
Some of them collect water in a pan, that needs to be emptied - those are mostly dehumidifiers. Most of the mobile air conditioners get rid of condendsate water and hot air by the "dryer hose" to the outside.
But you're certainly correct about the size - even though they're not very big, if you have a cramped room, they take up about the same footprint as a night stand.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

We had one of those with a dual hose, one brought air in and the other vents it out, all in the same thingy that sat in the window. It also worked as a dehumidifier, but we never actually used it because it is normally not as humid here as other parts of the world.
This year has been exceptionally humid, but we got central air about 4 years ago, so we gave our little portable conditioner away at that time.
It was placed in our dining room, and it did work well for that room and the living room, but unless you turned it to face the kitchen, it did little to cool that room off, and it did less to cool the bedrooms.
