So i just noticed that whenever the weather is sunny and dry i feel more energetic, more "awake", and when the weather is cloudy/rainy and wet, i feel sleepy and lazy...
Anyone know if there is any reason for it? Also, does it also happens with you?

The opposite of Seasonal Affective Disorder?
Look that up and I'm sure you will find clues as to why you are more energetic on bright days. And the 'dry' part- Maybe lower humidity in the air allows more efficient O2 intake?

Is your skin green? If so, you might have chlorophyl in your system, and you might be experienceing photosynthesis. If you are not green, then it is probably something else.

Actually, I feel the same way. Bright days wake me up more than cloudy ones. I like to wake up after the sun is up. Some people like to get up early, but I'm tired before the sun comes up, no matter how much sleep I've had.

However, I do not like being in direct hot sun for too long, because I sunburn very easily. And extreeme heat will also make me tired.

Ha ha! I was blown WAY off course. A Viking has no business in California!
