Window condensation problem

[Ratty2E]

I have really bad condensation problems mainly with my bedroom window, a large bay. I have to wipe them down with a squeegee and mop up with a towel every morning. There are 2 people and 2 small dogs breathing away all night so we must produce a lot of moisture. I have tried a small rechargable dehumidifier on the window sill which doesn't seem to have any effect. I've considered a proper plug in dehumidifier but don't have much spare floor space so ideally something that would fit on a 10" deep window sill would be best. Before I spend any more money I'd like to know if anyone has any recommendations.

Trickle vents

These are for uPVC windows, but others are available for timber windows. Just drill through the frame, and cover with the vent.
For best results, fit in all three sides of the bay......... even at the bottom as well for extra crossflow :o)

you don't say whether you are double glazed
but ventilation is the only cure leaving a top window very slightly ajar through the night.and wider when your up and about

Thanks Builder, I know 'tis the season of mist...' but I'm not too keen on it on the inside of my windows ;o) We do have uPVC double glazing Deggers, which is normally securely closed during darkness hours to keep out the draughts and early morning noise from some rather inconsiderate neighbours. We can lock off the windows to leave a tiny gap so I'll give that a try and see if it helps, may also look at the vents for a more permanent answer. Thanks for your help.
