I would go to bed and toss and turn, not being able to sleep with the awful heat, and then when I would finally go to sleep, I would only get a few hours of rest and then I would wake up covered in sweat.

I just realized how important my heating and cooling unit is. The HVAC system is not really something you think about all that often, it’s just something in the background that is underappreciated. Well, recently I learned how much more difficult my life would be had it not been for my air conditioning unit. It was a week before my paycheck, and I was very short on money. This wasn’t much of a problem, as I could make do with what I had until then. Then my air conditioner broke and that’s when the chaos started. At first I didn’t think too much of it, I’ll just have the AC repaired when I get paid, but that week without my air conditioning machine was brutal. My a/c component broke right in the middle of a hot summer, when the temperature is at least 90 degrees everyday. Waking up and going to sleep in particular was the worst. I would go to bed and toss and turn, not being able to sleep with the awful heat, and then when I would finally go to sleep, I would only get a few hours of rest and then I would wake up covered in sweat. I sometimes would leave a sweaty print on my bed, which just made me feel gross. I started taking showers twice a day to avoid the heat, but even then, the relief was brief. My focus was horrible at work, and I am now behind a week since I could barely get anything done. I just can’t wait to have my air conditioning unit back up and running again, if I ever had a seed of doubt about the importance of my cooling unit, I now know better.
