Cold weather, I felt hungry and sleepy easily

The weather is getting cold everyday, and I have to get up really early in the morning to get to work. Maybe human beings is no different from animals, we all have the tendency to be hibernated. Because I have to get up 5:00 A.M. in the morning, I felt extremely lazy when the alarm clock ringing. In the middle of the day, I felt hungry easily even though it is not lunch time, and after lunch, I felt my body needs a nap. Am I too lazy?

i think you can blame the weather. people tend to not do well in extreme temperatures whether it be cold or hot. i am usually cold all the time when it is winter and in the hot summer, i tend to not be able to do much.

No, its the same with me. The cold weather just saps my energy. The same goes with rainy weather really. I'm usually more alert in the warmer months. I think that has to do with the amount of fresh air in the house. I have the windows open, thus plenty of air. In the winter time,its different as its too cold to open the windows and indeed to go outside for more than a few minutes at a time. So its a byproduct of the weather sapping energy and strength.

I feel the same way too every time it gets cold here I feel hungry like all day long.I really don't know what that is. I don't think you should think you are lazy I know a lot of people it happens to they feel the same way and so do I. It was cold this morning and my alarm goes off at 5:30 and I usually get right up but today it was harder for me to get up and they say tommorrow is going to be one of the coldest days here we have had since the 1990's. I am so not ready for that it is always warm here I mean it does get cold but not what they are saying is going to happen here tommorrow I wish I didn't even have to go outside tommorrow but I do. I am kinda scared the way they are saying in the teens and with a really cold wind chill gonna feel even colder than that!

I too find extremely cold weather has a punishing effect on my body. I feel less energetic and somehow more weaker. Maybe we humans were designed to hibernate. Who knows?

No, I don't think you're lazy. It's really normal for us to feel that way. I am not even comfortable waking up early in the morning. The good thing is, I don't have to do this anymore. But I envy you because I love cold weather where I can have a good sleep.

Hi felice, I feel so when the weather is getting cold. Whereas, in my country is not as extremely cold as the country that has winter. People here feel quite cold when the rainy season is coming n they also feel hungry n sleepy easily in such condition. It would be nice if we sat on our desk with lots of snack.

It's really appetizing to eat and getting sleepy after, during cold weather. Almost everyone felt that way but of course maybe once or twice we do but not tolerating ourselves to have it as usual practice otherwise we all be lazy, good if we have everything...

Hello felice my dear, I don't think that anyone who has to get up at 5am to get to work and manages it is lazy, its not at all a natural thing for the body to do when its still dark and cold outside. I remember your sister Clorissa often complained about feeling lazy too but I really think that you ladies are both very hard working which is an asset in the young these days.

I think such thing is normal condition. People usually will easily feel hungry of hot food such as soup and feel sleepy on cold weather because our humanity mindset told us that there's many things we can't do out side when the cold weather is come. All people around the world seem have such same mindset about cold weather. But of course we must finishing some jobs first before we fell into our cold weather's sleep. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Yes, I do notice that I do feel tired and sleepy more easily. I guess its because of the reduced number of hours of daylight during the day. I feel more active when its the Summer time. Where I live. The winter time is more cloudy and gray. It does make me feel kinda depressed too.
