It Has Been Nice

The last few days has sure been better sleeping in my room. A little over a month ago when it was so hot here in Kansas my Air Conditioner in my bedroom decided to quit working right. It has been so hot in my room it has been hard to sleep because it has been so uncomfortable. My oldest grand daughter was here over the week end and did nothing but complain about the heat. I had my son come and take the A.C. out of the window and we put a box fan in its place. The next morning Sophia did nothing but complain of how cold she got in the night. It hasn't been nearly as hot here the last few days so it is easier to sleep with just the fans going. Now we need a light blanket . I am less grumpy when I get better sleep ! How does a lack of sleep affect you? Does it make you grumpy, low energy?

I'm sorry your A/C went out a month ago and made it uncomfortable to sleep. I hope you can get a new one for next summer. It's good temps are starting to cool off. I usually take a nap to make up for the lack of sleep.

I could never get into taking a nap. The few times I tried it I slept so long and then I was awake at night. I am a night owl. I go to bed between 1 and 2am and get up about 9. I do not need a lot of sleep. My last years of working I went to bed at 9pm as I got up at 2am. I never took a nap then either. I always said I was a true night owl.

I get foggy minded without enough sleep. I have been very foggy minded lately because of my dad in law's deteriorating health. He came home from the hospital a couple weeks ago under hospice care. I've been spending nights there and a good portion of the days to help mom with him as she can't handle him by herself.

So sorry about your air conditioning. I can't sleep without mine. Glad it's getting cooler.

The fresh air seems to be doing more good than the Air Conditioning did. Like you I am glad it is getting cooler.

@jeanena It sounds like the right time for the air conditioner to go bonkers.

@jeanena When you need things to work at times they stop working. That is a shame about the air conditioner when you need it to work because of the weather. I guess you cannot please her. I guess I am used to not getting a decent night sleep and hate that I cannot get one. I guess you could say it makes me want to yawn.

@jeanena That is sad that she is seldom pleased about anything now. I hope when she grows up she will find what makes her happy. I would not want to go back to childhood ever again. I do not miss those years.

What's better sleep? LOL Ever since I was injured on the job good sleep is a thing of the past. Here in Paso Robles California it gets so hot in the summer (April through to November) and cold in the winter that you either cook or freeze so you are always dealing with blankets or fans. I will say that it is tougher when you have someone complaining about the weather situation and you can't do anything to help them out. They should take into consideration your financial situation and not do so much complaining! In my situation I am happy to have a roof over my head right now.

Sorry to hear that you were injured . I can understand that about being happy to have a roof over your head. We never know from one day to the next what may come up in our lives. Take care of yourself.

We keep our house on the cool side as it is better sleeping and my allergies do not bother me then.

If I don't get enough sleep I avoid people. My tolerance for others becomes really low. lol

I'm generally not a pleasant person to be around. A bit short tempered, but mostly I tend to withdraw when I am very tired. I hope you can get that AC replaced before next summer begins.
