Help, my room is sooooooo veryyyy hot. It is on the second floor, and the air conditior in the house sucks, because it doesn't go upstairs. What do I do? I don't want to know why my room is so hot, I just want to know how to make my room cooler. I have a ceiling fan in my room, and that doesn't help, and I know for a fact that the cieling fan is giving cool air, and not air. I have one of these long thin loud fans, that does keep me cool, but I want to be able to keep my whole room cool, and not just one spot of my room. And I don't like how it is so loud. I close the blinds and the curtains over my two windows, I don't know what to do now. Someone help me plz.

get a 20" breeze box, or box fan, and right now Dollar General has them for $12 . Freeze 2 or 3 milk jugs full of water so you can rotate them when one gets too thawed out, put the fan near one corner of the room, put a frozen jug (or even two) into a pan of some kind behind the fan, close to it, and as the ice thaws the coolness will be drawn through the fan and into the room. a 13" X 9" cake pan works well, it's to keep the "sweat" from the thawing jugs from soaking the carpet.

Get a window AC unit. And then check you room for leaks. Just like in the winter with hot air your room can be losing the cool air that it does have. Another thing that helps is having an fan facing outward at the highest window in the house. It will push the hot air out and draw up the cold air from the central AC.

You're saying that the air doesn't go up to your room? Are you saying that it isn't set up to AC the upstairs, or that it just doesn't work? As long as the ducts are there you have a chance. You can go to where the furnace is and trace the duct work up to your room and make sure that the dampers are open. There are also helper fans that fit inside the duct work and will help boost air flow to areas that are hard to heat or cool.

Open your bedroom door, and place a box fan in the doorway blowing air into your room. This will pull the cooler air from the downstairs to your room.

I totally understand! The same thing is going on with me!
A window air conditioner is a good idea, but a little pricey. You can get room darkening shades. It really keeps the sun and the heat out.

Place a fan downstairs sort of by the Aircondintioner, pointing upstairs to your Room! And leave you door opened.
