I can't sleep if I'm cold, which I seem to be quite often. It's very common that I'll wear several sweatshirts, a couple pairs of pants, and 3 layers of socks to bed in order to sleep.  :brr:
I'm usually the opposite - Too hot,. When that happens, I won't be getting much sleep.

Well I'm off to another sleepless night. Do you think the weather can be part of sleeping issues?
I tend to not sleep as good during hot and humid weather. I sleep more during the afternoons and less at night.
I too have the exact same problem. When I know something big is going to happen with the weather (snow, heavy rain, extreme cold, extreme heat, you get the picture) I will not get much sleep. In fact, back during the 07-08 Winter Season, I was up all night at least 4 times when we got big snows.
I also get more sleep during the day and am up late at night.
I like hot and humid weather though. Even though I have a problem with bats, I like to keep the window open and back door window open (with screens of course) and listen to cars drive by. Lazy nights like that, along with severe weather and extreme heat, are summer to me  :thumbsup:
That stinks. If it's hot I can't sleep at all. Storms and rain actually help me fall asleep despite the noise.

Sometimes they do for me, other times not. One time in 2006 a heavy thunderstorm rolled in around 2AM, waking me up. I couldn't fall back asleep. It was a weeknight too, so I only got 3-4 hours of sleep.
When I know there is a chance for overnight thunderstorms, I leave the window open on my back door (to my deck which is right next to my room  :biggrin: ). I usually do not sleep through thunderstorms, though I do find it relaxing to listen to a gentle thunderstorm with moderate rainfall (that leads to the sound of water draining from eave-troughs (give me a break, I have never had to spell that before)). I love thunderstorms, and the excitement they bring to me  :thumbsup:

Wow 6 exams! You are going to be a busy gurl but hey it's college! I know school can get you brain fried...but your almost there...thanks Ana! Now I'm officially a junior member!!! :)

Oh and another thing I forgot that I will do this summer  is to study for the GREs. Its like the SATs  in high school but this is for graduate school. Since Im planning to hopefully get into University  of Oklahoma, Norman. I will apply to other schools but that's my #1 school to get into.

Ohio State has meteorology, but it's called Atmospheric Science..it's basically the same thing.

I have a long list of schools I want to transfer after IVC, but mainly CSU San Bernardino, Northern Arizona University, and Arizona State are on my transfer schools list. Arizona, UC Davis and UCLA are on my Meteorology schools list. I still need to think alot tho by the end of Fall Semester 2009.

That's the same for my school at UC Davis...their major is Atmospheric Science.
Oh we will def meet if you go to UCD! They have a great Atmospheric Science program. The professors are super nice there.... :yes:

Oh and if you are interested...You can do the TAG: www.ivc.edu/transfer/Documents/transferadmissionagreements.pdf which guarantees you to get into a UC and to tell you the truth the competition is not that fierce in the department because not a lot of people major in it. Small town, quiet....you'll like it.

I just went to the ASSIST website and according to that in order to transfer to UCD I have to take all chemistry, physics and math courses. I'm pretty confident on what the report gave me, but I still need to decide.
