Good way to keep my room cold?

i got ice cubes in my room but i need it colder i got a fan in my room i got a air con in my kittchen wtf ells can i do
Several things you can do, how practical they are will depend on your situation.



Move around as little as possible, the less energy you expend the cooler youll be.



Drink loads of water, if you start to dehydrate youll sweat less, sweating is one of the bodies cooling mechanisms. If your urine is darker than normal it may well be that youre not drinking enough.



Close curtains and blinds to block out sunlight, open curtains and blinds in rooms not exposed to sunlight.



Rub medicinal alcohol onto your skin, alcohol evapourates quickly and draws heat from your body in the process.



Trick your mind by thinking of cold things and cold places, imagine swimming in freezing cold water.



If you have a ceiling fan, place a bowl of cold water underneath it, ideally with ice-cubes in it



Eat mints, apply mint based products to your skin. These dont actually cool you down but they refresh and have a cooling sensation.



Eat spicy foods, this causes you to perspire and lose heat.



Take regular cool (not cold) baths and showers.



Put your feet in a bowl of cool (not cold) water.



Wear light, loose-fitting clothing made from natural fabrics such as cotton or silk.



Hot air rises, downstairs rooms are generally cooler than upstairs ones so open doors to allow the heat to escape upwards



Spray yourself with water droplets (thoroughly clean out a trigger spray bottle and fill it with water or use an atomiser), better still get a misting fan



Wear wet clothes or at least a wet tee-shirt, once they dry out then wet them again.



I spend a lot of time in Africa and temperatures regularly exceed 40C, a combination of regular cool showers and wearing wet clothing usually does the trick.
Leave your windows open all night when its the coldest then close the windows right when it starts getting hot.
Fill it with dry ice. One way or another that will solve your problem.
You can do several things, the best ways are:



open windows at night time,

close curtains during the day to prevent the suns energy from entering the room, heating it up

and i find the best way to keep cold when tying to sleep (nothing to do with the room) is to have a cold shower before you go to your bedroom if you find it too hot to sleep.
dry ice blocks under your matress
air conditioning it works for me
Most people handle dry or sensible heat just fine, if they aren
