I used to observe all year round but for a long time now I've joked that I hibernate during summer. I started to find the late starts and heat haze a turn-off, plus there were so many other things to do during summer. In winter I can start by 6-7pm and have had a good night by midnight, meaning I'm not a complete zombie the next day. The last few years, however, I've started to feel less brave in the cold. I'm determined to push myself outdoors for a few more winters yet but I may also drift back to summer observing and just learn to sleep during the day - at least being retired I have the time to be a zombie.
