I live in a place with no air conditioning and lots of light pollution. Last week I had to leave town and stayed in a hotel room for the duration of the trip. The ability to drop the indoor temperature down to the sixties and block the light out for five nights has given some of the greatest night sleeps in months.

I more disappointed about having to leave for this reason alone than gong back to my normal day routine. You just don’t always realize how much small shit like that can impact your sleep. Or you forget.

The only downside to this necessary comfort is having to share the space with someone who likes to sleep warm and can’t do total darkness.
