I'm trying to figure out why my bedroom feels like a sauna while the rest of my house is cool enough that I'm cozy in an oodie. Even with a fan running non-stop, I'm still sweating! We keep the bedroom door open during the day to let some air flow, but that doesn't seem to help. Plus, we have two PCs in the room, but I didn't think they'd make that much difference. Any tips or advice would be great!

Those two PCs can really ramp up the heat! If they have powerful graphics cards and you're using them for gaming, that could be a big contributor. Consider adding better ventilation with a strong window fan to help get that hot air out, or think about a quiet window AC unit if you prefer to keep the door closed.
You might want to check if your vents are closed or if there are any blockages in the ducts. Poor insulation can let cold air escape or heat get trapped, which might explain why your room is hotter than the rest of the house.
Could also be related to your room's location! If it's upstairs and facing northwest, it might catch a lot of afternoon sun. Plus, if your house is older, the brick walls could be retaining heat during the day and not releasing it at night.
