Hi there fellow mylotters, I am just wondering why - people do usually says, they loved to sleep whenever the weather is cold and kind a windy. And as I observed, people do also used to sleep whenever the weather is hot - as they usually claimed that due to the hot season, they somehow feel sleepy. Really, as for me, I loved to sleep especially when the weather is somehow cold as this relieves me to feel sweat. But, I am quite confused, why there are people do really get and fell asleep though the weather is hot.

Hi airasheila, I can't sleep when it's hot. I end up laying awake for hours. It's just too uncomfortable. I prefer to sleep when it's cold. If fact, when it is cold, it makes me sleepy! I love it when it's freezing in my bedroom, because I can just cuddle up with my fiance under a warm blanket and go to sleep. When it's hot, there is no cuddling, no blanket, and no sleep!

Hi there Angelee_27, I also find it difficult to sleep during hot weather. Hence, I do feel uncomfortable. But now, since the weather here at my end is kind a rainy weather, so it is quite easy to fell asleep. With my extra pillow and my blanket, I can sleep on a longer hours.

In my area, it's summer, and it's hot. :( To stay comfortable, we must keep the air conditioner on all day, and the fan in the window at night.

I sleep quicker when it is hot but I sleep for a shorter time. I do sleep easier when it is cool.

Hi, airashelia. Yes, I usually do. It is the heat that makes very feel very sleepy, thus allowing me to doze off. When I am very hot by body tends to become weak and easily lazy. I start to feel very sleepy. It is like the hot weather drains my energy barren dry.

I can usually sleep fairly well in warm weather. It becomes more difficult when it's unbearably hot, but if it's a comfortably warm weather, then I do have a fairly easy time falling asleep. I guess it depends on how hot it is.

Actually not, i got feel lazy do anything but also no sleep. I very hate sleep when weather is hot, easy sick after wake up. I more like sleep at raining day. If night is raining is sure sleep early and enjoy my good dream. If weather is hot, i will try find some place is more cool do continue my thing.

Hi airasheila, here in the tropical region where the weather here is hot and humid all the year round. The hottest temperature available here so far is 34 degree C or so. It's unlike certain places where the temperature is severe hot like around 40 degree C or even more than that. We usually would feel drowsy in the afternoon especially after a half day work and just have finished taking our lunch. Many would take the lunch time left to enjoy a short nap before the clock strikes two I have the habit to have siesta after back from my part time job in the afternoon as well. It's sure that I will do this after entertaining my appetite with delicious afternoon meal There isn't any thing nicer than to have a proper rest in the hot afternoon with a full stomach lol... Happy posting

Heat does make me tired, but I am definitely not one who can sleep when it is hot out. I sleep much better when it is cool. I LOVE sleeping with my window open on an autumn night when there is a chill in the air. I sleep so well! Unfortunately when it is hot out, my air conditioner does not air back to my bedroom. This summer I have been lucky and have been able to sleep with my window open with cool air flowing in.

I seem to sleep better when it is hot.I know this is unusual. I don't like to use the blankets and if it is hot I don't. If it is VERY hot and I am sweaty then I can't sleep as well. I turn the air conditioner off when it is bed time. If it is on, I get too cold

Well Sleep is must and important. So in any weather it will come. But surely its hard to sleep in hot weather. Its already too hot here and I have to on and extra table fan in the night. In cold or windy weather I always had good sleep.

Nope, I don't fall asleep easily when it's hot. I just twist and turn a lot and my mood somehow get's bad. If the weather is too hot, I try to take a shower and sleep without even blowdrying my hair.

It is the body clock that dictates,however the glare of the intense heat usually makes one feel asleep.

as for my experience.... when the weather is cold.... only your body likes to rest and by that, your feeling sleepy.... you'll fall asleep easily... but when the weather is hot... only your eyes feeling sleepy due to bright light of the atmosphere outside... you also fall asleep easily.... but if you are tired, stress, no matter what the weather condition is, you'll fall asleep easily....

Nah. For me it's the other way around. I like to take naps when it's chilly and breezy. I really can't sleep when it's hot and humid. I dislike the feeling of waking up and finding out that my back and neck and head are all sweaty.

Hi! I am one of those people who feels sleepy during a hot weather! I don't know why is this but I really feel sleepy when the weather is hot. I don't even like hot weather! And whenever I fall asleep, I don't get a comfortable sleep since it's hot and I get sweaty. I prefer the cold weather but at times I don't get sleepy in a cold weather. I just snuggle in bed and hope to fall asleep. Of course if it's night I get a good night sleep when the weather is cold. If it's in the afternoon that the weather is cold and I want to take a nap, sometimes I can't.

I prefer to sleep in a colder environment, for comfort. But, when it is hot it zaps my energy and makes me not want to do much. Hence, the lazy days of summer. Heat just takes a toll on one's body, making physical activity more straining. I notice that when it is extremely hot outside, you'll see less people on the street.

Well it is true that all of us love to sleep whenever the weather is cold and windy.It really depends what situation you are in.For example if you are in the forest and the weather is so damn hot,you probably wouldn't sleep taking into consideration the fallen twigs,branches and leaves on the forest floor.Then again if you are in a classroom and listening to a boring lecture and the weather is so hot,your brain is deprived of oxygen,then obviously your body automatically shuts down and the next moment you know,your head is on the table.It always happens to me when I'm in a classroom listening to my teacher giving out boring facts of some molecular structure.Oh yeah and plus the blood is not really flowing that well throughout your entire body when you're sitting down.So it's best if we stand up and let the blood flow again throughout our entire body.We'll be awake again.

To me my sleep is tight when the weather is cold and somehow rainy. when its cold outside, its very hot in the blanket, and so one feels reluctant to get out in cold. myself when its cold i get late for work than when its hot. hot weather makes one feel uncomfortable. but not all the people who likes the cold weather.

I live in Greece and now we are in the hot season. It's kinda difficult. You feel tired and sleepy all the time. This kind of weather complete leeches all your energy out. It is really bad though, cause even you are sleepy, many times you can't really sleep because it actually is too hot. You get sweaty all the time and really uncomfortable.. not to mention the mosquitoes:P The only solution is air-conditioning. You must make wise use of it though, cause you might wake up with weird back or neck pains or something:P
