> and at night it's hard to sleep. In Northeastern Brazil, that has a hot and dry climate for most of the year, a very popular solution is to sleep in hammocks in the hot season. Most houses are equipped with hooks in the walls of each room, to set them. They don't bake your underside at night like mattresses, and fans cool both your topside and underside while you're in a hammock. The hooks must be well spaced, so you can avoid back pain in the morning, by laying almost straight in a diagonal position, in relation to a imaginary axis that goes through both hooks.
