I spent the entire day sleeping yesterday following a very late night after a trip to the emergency room with a friend (concussion, but she’s ok). So by sleeping, I saved electricity: I slept through my morning smoothie and coffee breakfast, I didn’t turn on my computer all day, and I kept the heat down at our not-at-home temperature, when I would normally turn it up while working at home.
