Sleep By Any Other Name:In For a "Spell" of Bad Weather?

Sleep                   Shut-eye
                                                    Weary
                           Tired    
Bagged                                                   Exhausted   
    
Too tired to care?  Time for rejuvenation.  Rest, regenerate, and rise.


Vancouver weather, in our coastal climate, and so close to the Mountains, enjoys World Class status. - Weather from every part of the world, every day. (Hint: to reduce grumbling, hang the clothes in your closet by colour, not "season", and dress for your day by the best Weather Report.)    What's this got to do with sleep?


High pressure ridges, and low pressure systems, humidity, aridity, sunshine, and rain.  For certain people, all these changes, often occurring in short succession, find that their sleep patterns are affected.  For example, when the weather is changing from high pressure (usually with clear skies), to a low pressure system (usually bringing clouds starting off at the mountains), the atmosphere can feel heavy, giving way to the expression "feeling heavy-lidded".
One may feel sleepy, even when having had enough rest, during the process of this change in atmospheric pressure. 
Environment Canada has a report for Farmers that could help you plan your days in this regard.  Unlike the normal weather reports, which are almost flippant in some mediums, the Environment Canada site Weather Office of Environment Canada Link gives the humidity percentage in the Farmers Weather Reports.
No amount of pressure, weather high nor low, seems to be able to provoke the mainstream stations into adding the humidity percentages into their reports.  
In any case, the pressure is dropping, and sleep is at hand.
