I'd be pathetic without A/C. I am a sorry 1st Worlder who cannot sleep in heat.
Growing up, my house was one of those where unless lava flowed through the hallways, we never put the AC on. Now in my own house that AC is on all summer.
With that said, I have spent countless nights in neato dirt piles around the world where their main export to the rest of the planet is apparently fire, brimstone, and yes lava. You simply do not do much during the heat of the day. It will bury you.
To your question: I think it is acclimatization.

I know, I know very first world problem.
It is hot here, I have my air set to 71 and it is running non-stop. I live in a pretty cool place, Wisconsin.
I just can't imagine not having air conditioning in the South or other hot climates.
I read a story that in India the temperature was a high of 120F, and that only 6% of people have air conditioning.
My God, I must be spoiled rotten.

I have always lived in Georgia
For most of my early years , there were no air conditioners. (except window fans)
Temps hung in the 90s with closing on 100% humidity.
We were used to the heat back then.
I like the cool air , but yet spend a lot of time outside , feeling the heat.
Folks nowadays are spoilt rotten
I would survive even at my age .
A lot of folks would not.
