Did todays sunny weather make you tired?

Firewalkwithme · 04-06-2006 12:09AM #1

I spent most of today outside enjoying the sun. Nice, after being stuck in the office all week. Strange thing is though, I feel exhausted after spending a day doing nothing bar sitting in the sun. Does anyone else feel this or have any tips on how to avoid the tirednesswhile taking in the sunshine? Maybe I should be drinking more water or something, I'd like to know because I'm heading off to Majorca in a couple of weeks and I don't want to feel drained the whole time I'm on my my holidays.

No

Yeah i went for a little Siesta today im not made for the heat im the same on Holidays suppose us paddys arent made for the sun!

fuzzywiggle · 04-06-2006 12:33AM

No

Yes! The sun makes me tired.. i feel so drained if I'm out walking in it. Makes me angry then as a result!

Firewalkwithme · 04-06-2006 12:37AM

So it's not just me then! Maybe I'll just sleep all day when I'm on holiday - next year I'll go skiing

Probably not a bad idea to drink more water though, you can dehydrate very quickly in the heat. I find I get tired when my feet get too hot lol

Ruu_Old · 04-06-2006 02:45AM

No

I used to sit out in the sun and fall asleep and would be wrecked for the rest of the day when I woke up, not good

SpitfireIV · 04-06-2006 02:49AM

No

I found today (well....Saturday) a fierce annoying day

, every time I went to sit and enjoy the sun I'd start falling asleep, it totally drained me today and does in general but today was particularly bad.

Make sure you drink plenty of water.

I used feel tired in the sun, and sufered heatstroke. Drinking plenty of water these days and dont feel as tired out there now.

Tar.Aldarion · 04-06-2006 04:53AM

Cutting my lawn for an hour in the scorching heat made me tired and so did working until now. Hopefully another great day of sun tomorrow.

Hot Weather + PC running = Sauna inside.

Thats why you get a deck chair and a laptop with wireless

Yes! I hate the heat! I'm off to Paris in 3 weeks, i'm dreading it, especially if it's like last year.

Heyes · 04-06-2006 11:02AM

Sun deydrated (sp?) you which in turn makes you tired.

I get knackered aswell as burnt when ever im near the sun. In fact i have a nice burnt arm today :rolleyes: , wouldnt be so bad if the other feckin arm had colour on it too lol.

rainbow kirby · 04-06-2006 11:10AM

I love the heat, despite the fact I burn like hell. Doesn't make me tired until you start talking about over 30 degrees!

iFight · 04-06-2006 11:32AM

Don't mind the heat either, doesnt tire me or anything, unless playing a sport or something

then it kills me

meowCat · 04-06-2006 01:34PM

No

I already find it's a bit too warm for me liking.
I have a headache the whole weekend now. Not good. But all people seem to do, is lying around in the sun. It's like nothing happens any more. Everyone is out -- but just lying around on the greens!

Sarn · 04-06-2006 05:12PM

No

Always find I get sleepy with the heat, but I do enjoy those afternoon naps. As mentioned above, dehydration can cause tiredness.

Endurance Man · 04-06-2006 05:15PM

I'm a sun man myself.

byte · 04-06-2006 05:28PM

No

I'd like to think it's the sun that makes me feel lazy and tired, but it's more likely the fault of my alcohol consumption last night!

netwhizkid · 04-06-2006 05:34PM

Just typical this, We spend the last two weeks moaning "is it ever going to stop raining" now we are about 4 days into what I call summer at last, and the moaning brigade is out, it's too hot, I'll have to water my lawn, I like it when it's cooler. SHUT UP I have lived in hope for this, and eventually it arrived

And I hope it will stay this way till next October. Jeez, so what if it tires people out, I like it and spent today trekking up the side of a mountain to see the completed windfarm that has been built over the last year in my locality.

Hurray for the sun

Stop moaning already. I do find it more difficult to sleep as it was a little muggy and sort of heavy but I fixed that easily by setting my fan just a normal desk fan to full speed and timed it go off with a timer around 1o clock, I fell asleep as easily as I would in the middle of winter and also saved money in electricity by timing the fan. Then again it has to be running for 19hrs at full speed to burn one unit which is around 15 or something cents.

Well you're used to it!!! Not like us poor cold paddies!

Yeah myself and the missus are a little tired this evening. We went to Killiney which was gorgeous and climbed all over the hill.

Yea, it's called sun stroke.

Setun · 04-06-2006 05:41PM

No

It's different in other countries because it's not necessarily the same Irish humid-heat, which can get really stuffy and uncomfortable.

Having said that, I am enjoying it :cool:

zuma · 04-06-2006 05:42PM

No

Went for a sleep before Dinner!

Couldnt stay awake and had to lie down....the heat was a culprit allright....but I was doing more physical work today than normal.

Merrick · 04-06-2006 06:47PM

No

Ugh, I HATE really hot weather. I'm absolutely exhausted but too hot to sleep; not a good situation at all. My only consolation is that I got to spend my day downstairs with the air conditioning instead of upstairs, which has been compared to a furnace. Oh happy days...

Takeshi_Kovacs · 04-06-2006 07:13PM

Well theres been a nice breeze blowing in from the coast last few evenings, so sleeping is grand, other than the fact that it is still brightat 10:30 at night..

Definitely drink LOTS of water as day goes on, going for a cold shower is good too!!

Agamemnon · 04-06-2006 07:33PM

I'm tired cos I had to work 8 fecking hours today with a dismayingly bad hangover from last night's whiskey binge. Now I have to go out again but luckily I can sleep in tomorrow. Still, let's not whinge about the heat - we'll be back to the Irish monsoon season soon enough.

YeAh! · 04-06-2006 07:39PM

No

Thats the trouble with warm weather in Ireland, it completely drains all the energy from you. On the other hand if you are in Tenerife, or Spain or America over the summer, you still have energy to do things despite the heat.

Huggles · 04-06-2006 08:24PM

I had a snooze yesterday before dinner but not today, was noding off alright though

dceire · 04-06-2006 08:29PM

I think it was lack of sleep combined with a hangover that made me tired more than the sun

04-06-2006 08:30PM

How "hot" is it there exactly anyway? I've never seen it get beyond about 25 C in Ireland. It's about 38C here in Spain and I had to leave the library cos I wasn't getting any study done, it was like a furnace. Consider yourselves lucky!
