I'm going to need a few more details if I'm going to solve this problem. What floor are you on? Are you in a house or apartment? Do you have a basement? How hot is it outside?
From the limited information, my only suggestion would be to take a cool shower right before you go to bed. Don't dry off completely when you go to sleep. Then, keep the fan on you. As the water evaporates, you will get a localized cooling effect.
You could also make up some ice packs and put them in your pillow. Remember, you lose alot of heat through your head, and places where blood passes close to the skin, like wrists neck and ankles. Try focusing your cooling on those areas.
Add: If air conditioners don't work... try and survive the night somehow (ice like I said). Tomorrow, you might seriously want to take a look at your homes insulation. If Air conditioners aren't even doing anything to bring your room down from "oven hot"...then either you have a gaping hole in your homes insulation or your air conditioner is broken.

Be sure to leave your bedroom door cracked open and make sure the fan is blowing outside. The cracked door should cause a draft.

Mount a ceiling fan directly above your bed and go to sleep with the fan running (you could fit a timer switch to turn the fan off automatically). Lie on the bed as opposed to in it, spread yourself out as opposed to curling up in a ball way (lie on your back with arms and legs splayed), wear minimum lightweight clothing, take a cool shower before going to bed, don't apply deoderants or antiperspirants.
