Some things I'd do (I'm from Australia):

  * close curtains/blinds during the day (as long as it doesn't make things too dark).


  * leave as many windows as possible open during the night (outside will cool down quicker than inside, so a breeze coming in a window will be very nice).


  * chuck a few drinks in the fridge (a late afternoon cold lemonade will be amazing if it's almost 40 degrees).


  * turn unnecessary lighting off.


  * have a salad or something not-cooked for lunch/dinner


  * accept that you'll struggle to get six hours of good sleep.
