Whenever it’s the start of summer, the first sign of a heat people pop in their air conditioners and turn it on. Some automatically start using their fans and when it gets to be to hot for them to handle, that’s when they get out their air conditioners as well. However, there are people…such as my parents who don’t do any of that. The reason for that is because they want to save as much money as they possibly can on electric bills during the summer.
I understand why they’ll be reluctant to start using it. The air conditioner uses the most electricity than anything else, it’ll be cheaper if you use fans. But the huge problem that I have with summer, even though I enjoy it, is that it’s a pain for my sleep. It turns me into insomniac.
It’s the heat and humidity. It’s how my skin sticks to the bed sheets, how my long hair tries to suffocate me, and how much my body radiates heat adding onto the heat already in my room. It’s discomforting and annoying.
I would have put a air condition in my room but there’s only one, and it’s only to be used in the living room. I don’t have windows, my room is a windowless, the only “windows” are those that connect to the bathroom. Besides, using the air conditioner is my parents decision since it’s their house. When they finally put it in, I would have to sleep on the sofa in the living room. That in itself is also a bit difficult for me to sleep because it’s too bright in there. I would have woken up at the first sign of the sun and it’s noisy too.
The next option is to use a fan but the problem I have with that is that it makes too much noise. I like complete silence and if not, I want noise that is soft and not that loud. But for now I have to suffer the lack of well rested sleep.
