Narrative:

When crew boarded the entire aircraft was warm but the back of the aircraft was over 90 degrees and the bunk room was 109 degrees. The day was in the mid 70's but the aircraft sits in the hot sun on the remote with no cooling for hours. None of the window shades had been shut or the vents opened for cooling of the aircraft. This flight departs at XA45. Hot aircraft have been a consistent issue in ZZZZ. A hot aircraft defeats everything that I do as a flight attendant to combat fatigue. My body is using up all its reserve fuel to keep my body cool thus the effects of fatigue hit early. This is a 13 1/2 hour duty day and starting it off with a hot aircraft is unsafe and unhealthy. Aircraft at door 5 stayed at 90 degrees for over an hour into the flight. Again there were 3 breaks on this flight and although it was a day flight the hot aircraft that we boarded along with the turbulence that we encountered during all 3 breaks hindered the ability for crew to get sufficient rest. Without sufficient rest the crew is put at risk for fatigue. After this trip I took a 5 hour nap at home and still was able to sleep through the entire night. I have never slept that much after a trip and contributed it to the lack of rest created by 3 breaks and the hot cabin.

Title: HOT CABIN; TURBULENCE AND INEFFECTIVE CABIN ATTENDANT REST SCHEDULE RESULT IN FATIGUE.

Narrative: WHEN CREW BOARDED THE ENTIRE ACFT WAS WARM BUT THE BACK OF THE ACFT WAS OVER 90 DEGS AND THE BUNK ROOM WAS 109 DEGS. THE DAY WAS IN THE MID 70'S BUT THE ACFT SITS IN THE HOT SUN ON THE REMOTE WITH NO COOLING FOR HRS. NONE OF THE WINDOW SHADES HAD BEEN SHUT OR THE VENTS OPENED FOR COOLING OF THE ACFT. THIS FLT DEPARTS AT XA45. HOT ACFT HAVE BEEN A CONSISTENT ISSUE IN ZZZZ. A HOT ACFT DEFEATS EVERYTHING THAT I DO AS A FLT ATTENDANT TO COMBAT FATIGUE. MY BODY IS USING UP ALL ITS RESERVE FUEL TO KEEP MY BODY COOL THUS THE EFFECTS OF FATIGUE HIT EARLY. THIS IS A 13 1/2 HR DUTY DAY AND STARTING IT OFF WITH A HOT ACFT IS UNSAFE AND UNHEALTHY. ACFT AT DOOR 5 STAYED AT 90 DEGS FOR OVER AN HR INTO THE FLT. AGAIN THERE WERE 3 BREAKS ON THIS FLT AND ALTHOUGH IT WAS A DAY FLT THE HOT ACFT THAT WE BOARDED ALONG WITH THE TURB THAT WE ENCOUNTERED DURING ALL 3 BREAKS HINDERED THE ABILITY FOR CREW TO GET SUFFICIENT REST. WITHOUT SUFFICIENT REST THE CREW IS PUT AT RISK FOR FATIGUE. AFTER THIS TRIP I TOOK A 5 HR NAP AT HOME AND STILL WAS ABLE TO SLEEP THROUGH THE ENTIRE NIGHT. I HAVE NEVER SLEPT THAT MUCH AFTER A TRIP AND CONTRIBUTED IT TO THE LACK OF REST CREATED BY 3 BREAKS AND THE HOT CABIN.
