How do I cool my bedroom?
I have an a/c in the spare room across the hall but we didn't want to install it in our room because due to the layout and window height, it would be right behind our heads. Our upstairs is small so we thought installing it in the spare room would create sufficient cooling to help us sleep, but as I'm asking this at 4:30am after tossing and turning for 5 hours in the heat, sufficed to say I was wrong. The doors aren't facing each other, which may be part of the issue. Our door faces towards the other room, but that rooms door faces the wall to our right. My question, would putting a window fan blowing outward from our bedroom window create a draft that would draw the cool air through? Our upstairs landing is literally 3 doors and a small, door sized wall. It doesn't have to travel far. I just want to know if it will work before buying one. Any other suggestions welcome.

Is it cooler downstairs? Perhaps try your exhaust fan plus one to push the cooler air upstairs.

It is cooler downstairs. So put a fan blowing out in my bedroom window, turn a/c on in spare room, and aim a floor fan up the stairs? I'll try anything after the sleep I got last night haha.

Putting a fan to draw air out is counterproductive to your ac. Not only is it cooling but it's also working as a dehumidifier. Any air opening to the outside is wasting your air. I'd suggest you rearrange your bedroom so it can accommodate your ac. If you refuse that option and only have one fan aim it to blow on you! If you want to try to push the remote ac air to your room put it in the doorway to your bedroom drawing air in preferably aimed at you. And nix the covers and clothes! Another option would be to sleep in the spare room.
