No matter how difficult I try to avoid it, I regularly fall ill around the same time each year.
- It starts with a tickle in my throat & then the unexplainable fatigue.
The body aches & chills follow shortly after. Within 24 hours, I am completely indisposed & useless. The only thing to do is to sleep it off & stay hydrated. The most frustrating part of trying to sleep while being ill is the temperature of the household you are trying to rest in. With the back & forth of chills & sweats, it is almost impossible to stay comfortable. The best part about having a smart thermostat is being able to adjust the temperature of the household from the couch separate from having to get up to do so. When I am covered in sweat, I turn the temperature in the household down legitimately low. A few minutes later when I am shivering & cold, I can kick the heat on from the comfort of my sofa. It is official for people to be ill when the temperature outside switches from boiling to chilly & back in a short stage of time. I can usually tell when I am about to fall ill & that is when the weather becomes bipolar. The first sign of sickness for me is usually the sore throat. I try to nip that in the bud right away. If I experience a full illness, it makes me cheerful to know that I have a smart thermostat to keep me comfortable.
