Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wpforms-lite domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Question: Before the advent of air conditioning in the early 1900s, how did Phoenix residents keep cool while sleeping?

Answer: They moved their beds outside. Many simply placed them in their yards, while others built sleeping porches. It was also common for people to wrap themselves in wet sheets and let the breeze cool them—a primitive version of a swamp cooler.
