Estivation

Or, if you prefer to older spelling, "aestivation." It's the hot-weather equivalent of hibernation, when some animals enter a state close to suspended animation until things cool down.

That's what happens to me when we have stretches of near 90-degree weather, like for the past week or so. All I want to do is sleep.

We are promised respite tomorrow. We'll see.
