Search Results: am i hot

I have been having some with my teacher Kate. I have some medical conditions and learning needs and I require more support in class, Kate is aware of my medical history.

- I struggle to sleep as I have a high sensitivity to noise and smells, anxiety, and acid reflux. That week I suddenly got 4 hours every night. I take sleeping medicine which makes me woozy, so if I don’t get back to sleep, I am even more tired. Due to the issues with Kate, I struggled going to sleep on a Tuesday night as I worry what Kate will say when I go in. Due to my location and struggles to sleep/getting up I regularly arrive in class (quietly) around half 9. On Wednesday the 28th, Kate asked me if I was tired and I explained why. She knows about my irregular sleep pattern and has also suggested things to help me.

- I tried to have a nap, but it didn’t help much. After I came back to class after lunch, I asked Angela (who has been very friendly with me) to open the window as I wasn’t feeling well and needed fresh air, due to the food being brought into the room at lunch time – I literally couldn’t breathe. The window has to be opened with a pole due to it being far away. (This is the first time I have asked for the window to be opened however Angela offered to close the blinds before when I tried to do that myself, I couldn’t reach them.) I use my scarf to cover my mouth when I struggle to breathe due to smells. Angela was willing to do it but as she was doing it, Kate made a comment about me blowing hot and cold (because, as women it is a natural thing with us, as she should be aware). Theresa was sitting with Kate at her desk and started asking me why I couldn’t do it. (She has made comments in the past when I am talking to Angela).

A few studies suggest that aspects of a person's personality correlate with seasonal preferences and environmental upbringing. The climate preferences are apparently formative in what naturally recharges and comforts a person. (Similarly, preference for certain times of day are said to impact productivity levels.)

Key Personality Correlations by Season Preference:

• Winter People (Extreme/Cold): Linked to introversion, introspection, critical thinking, creativity, and emotional resilience. (Preferring quiet, introspective, cozy settings.)
• Summer People (Extreme/Hot): Linked to high energy, vibrancy, sociability, and love of physical activities.
• Spring/Fall People (Transitional/Mild): Linked to higher emotional stability, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness/extroversion.

Factors Influencing Seasonal Preference:

• Upbringing: People raised in milder climates tend to score higher on desirable personality traits (socialization, flexibility, etc.).
• Psychophysiological Comfort: Preferences are based on what a person associates with safety or positive stimulation.
• Birth Month: Folks tend to be subconsciously attached to the season of their birth month.
• Contrast Effect: Sometimes preference for extreme (winter/summer) weather comes from a desire for contrast.
