The sound of the pounding rain pattering on the roof lulls us into a sense of calm. Then thunder rumbles and a bolt of lightning streaks across the sky.
The towering cumulus cloud has continued to grow in height and width and now lightning is occurring.
Typical of these storms it may extend 5 to 10 miles high into the atmosphere and 5 to 25 miles across.
I'm laid here in bed experiencing heavy rain, gusty winds and thunder that often accompany these storms.
It was a day fit for snoozing!
However, have you ever wondered... Why does rain and thunder sound seem to make us sleepy?
After researching this topic I found out that along with the low air pressure, the air is also filled with a lot of water vapor. The combination of low air pressure and water vapor inadvertently lowers the oxygen levels in the air, making our brain feel tired.
When it rains, negative ions are released and that leads to people feeling more relaxed and comfortable.
So it was a day for the snooze fest or either day or more with my knee throbbing alerting me it's definitely storming.
Guess I did not fight Mother Nature and enjoyed the inside rest and when I got over my stupor, I enjoyed working on some of articles for future post.
Hope Y'all's Day Goes Smoothly... I'll be just sitting watching in the next few day the rain & items ready to float! 😅
