Hot Spring

It's late May now, but Taiwan has been incredibly hot recently. Every day I get home from work, the temperature inside the apartment is close to 33 degrees Celsius. Even after opening windows and turning on fans for a few hours, it remains between 32.3 and 32.8 degrees Celsius. Although I'd love to save electricity for energy conservation and carbon reduction, I have no intention to lie awake and sweat all night. So, I'll put off showering until right before bed, then turn on the air conditioning, setting it to 28 degrees Celsius, and then I can sleep more comfortably. Otherwise, if I suffer from insomnia, it'll cause problems at work the next day and isn't good for my health. The resulting reduced productivity and wasted energy due to illness treatment would be worse than just running the AC for a bit.

現在是5月下旬，但臺灣最近實在是很熱，每天下班回到家，家裡的溫度接近攝氏33度，開窗開電風扇幾個小時後都還是維持在攝氏32.3~32.8度之間。雖然希望能省電來達到節能減碳，但是也不想整晚在床上冒汗睡不著覺，所以會拖到睡前才洗澡，洗完澡開冷氣，設定在攝氏28度，至少可以睡得較舒服，不然如果失眠，隔天上班會有問題的，對身體也不好，到時候生病治療造成的生產力下降及能源浪費，還不如開一下冷氣吧。
