I have to deal with this problem living in a room with no AC/central air and I have some tips that may be useful for others in the same situation.

1. Put a frozen water bottle under your shirt. Keep backups in the freezer to cycle from. It seriously feels amazing and sucks the heat out of your body.

2. Use two or more fans, one good one to blow air at yourself and another one that is redirecting hot air away from you (so it's facing somewhere away from you). It's just like how airflow in a computer works I guess lol

3. Have ice always available, drink a ton of ice water and stay hydrated.

The difference between doing these things and not doing these things for me is having a somewhat productive day vs spending the whole day doing nothing.
