Is it Harder to Wake Up When it’s Cold Out?

If you think it’s hard to get out of bed now just wait till the weather turns chilly. Some say the thoughts of stepping onto a cold floor in the morning causes them to pull the covers over their heads. Well, there’s a scientific explanation. According to a new study, it’s harder to get our brains to wake up and activate when it’s chilly. Basically, the parts of our brain that are normally activated by daylight in the morning get shut back down by the cold so, it takes a lot of extra effort to wake up and get moving.
