Aloe Vera is the perfect plant to cool down your bedroom temperature. By having a high water content in its leaves, it evaporates the moisture in the air through transpiration.

Simple bulbs heat the room, the same as incandescent bulbs that emit 90-98% of energy as heat. On the other hand, LED bulbs don’t produce heat.

3. Make buckwheat pillows
