Sleep Schedule

Last summer when money was tight I started cooling only one room at a time. Living room if I was watching TV/Computer and bedroom if I was sleeping but I found that as long as I had a fan blowing on me I could sleep in 82 degree temperature.

It dawned on me I did not have to be awake during the heat of the day – I could sleep then and save on A/C. And it worked well.

I like working in the early morning hours – always have. So I go to sleep around noon, when it is starting to get hot and get up at 7 or 8 when it is starting to cool down. Plus the best TV is on at this time and old movies during the overnight.

This year June and July were extremely hot so I did not save much. August has been so-so but the last two weeks have been wonderful – 80 during day – 50 at night – almost no A/C use at all.

So if you wondered why I didn’t return calls between noon and seven or why I always seemed tired during that time, now you know.
