One other thing... when you close the windows the next morning after running the attic fan, be sure to pull the window shades if you are in a sunny area. That radiation/solar heating can really add back the heat into your cooled space.

you can get installed solar shades for the window that absorbs the heat and control the harsh glare of sunlight.
