Slept Pretty Well Last Night but Still Feeling a Bit on the Sleepy Side

I feel like this winter weather is making me more tired than normal.

  • I always thought it was the heat that made me tired, especially after living in the south during the summertime, but the cold can also make me tired as well.

I guess it is the body using more energy than normal to keep the internal temperature constant, or something along those lines. I am not going to fight my natural instincts though and I will just sleep more and rest my body. This past summer was really hot and it actually feels nice to not have to run the AC all of the time as the natural climate control system of the earth is doing it for me. I run the heat a little bit but only for about 20 minutes a day as it is way too expensive to run all day long. If I just run the heat in the morning the house seems to retain the heat and stay in the comfortable zone for me. I don’t think my power bills will be too crazy from running the furnace for 20 minutes a day. I guess I will find out when the power bill comes in another few weeks. We are coming up in December and the temps are going to get a lot colder so I am going to have to wear more clothes in the house to avoid running the central heating device too often. I will be heading back to the States next month so at least my central HVAC system will get a break then.
