Reply to comment by cbeck23 in ELI5: Why does putting one foot out from under the blankets bring so much relief of heat while laying in bed? by SirDuke6

But isn't that very fleeting? Or is it enough to cool down? Apologies for my ignorance.

When it is that hot, any relief, however fleeting, is appreciated. Alcohol will flash off, but takes some of your body heat with it. It is enough to help if you are having problems falling asleep, and if you're awake, slather on some more Alcohol when it dries.
