You just want air flowing over your body more than anything, especially directly over your head and face. 

The flow of air cools you more than mixing the air in the room. The differential between floor air and ceiling air isn’t huge during a hot spell. And it mixes anyways with turbulence. 

Also, I’m not trying to cool the ceiling. I’m trying to cool me!
