Air conditioning - it will change your life

It is certainly changing our sleeping patterns.
Being from Calgary - we are not big 'air conditioner' folk. We have a separate air conditioner in each room. We dont keep them on all the time. They can be a bit noisy. For the one in the bedroom, we typically turn it on for a bit, knock down the heat in the room and then turn it off. The heat builds up, you wake up because it gets uncomfortable and then you turn it back on again. A bit of a cycle - except Mimi and I are different temperature cycles - so there are overlapping on's & off's.

When I started working here, I was always curious as to why people kept their lights off - in their office, in their houses, their apartments. You very quickly come to realize that anything that generates unwanted heat is avoided. So if the glow of your computer screen is sufficient, then that's all the light some people have in their offices.
I am finding myself doing the same thing.
