My husband has a new found obsession for sleeping with both the fan and the portable A/C on, full blast. And since he has to get up at 3 am a few nights a week for work he goes to bed far earlier than I do and is very sensitive to noise, etc. on those nights.

I had to preface with that since I'm sure a lot of you will wonder why I don't turn off or re-direct the damned cooling machines when I get into bed.....The poor guy's circadian rythms are off since he starts off the week getting home from work at midnight and ends the week having to be back at work at 4am. I, on the other hand, get my normal 8 hours unless my son is sick.

So, now that my hubby loves to have the white noise and cool air (which is nice, yes, when the weather is hot) I get to fall asleep with the wind in my hair and a cold blast air-injection in my nostrils. I could have sworn that last night I was sleeping on a truck bed going down the Autobahn at 150 mph. I tried covering my head with the comforter, but then nearly suffocated.....apparently I no longer have the ability to sleep under the covers like I did as a child, when I would make tents out of my bedsheets and fall aslepp under them pretending I was lost in the woods.

I am not crazy about getting windburn while I sleep, nor have I ever had the ambition of owning a convertible car....much less sleeping in one. I am really starting to anticipate winter......when I can hide the A/C and all the fans....deep in the bowels of our garage.
