Same here. My ability to think clearly drastically declines at around 24-25 degrees, to becoming virtually zero in around 29-30 degrees.
Assuming brain is an organ that consumes so much energy, maybe it's about that. Even if it's not that I'm sure that there's a correlation.

- can16358p 4y agoMight be. I don't know the exact mechanism, but it might simply be like as you said: heat -> intolerance -> umcomfortable -> reduced performance.
- zuminator 4y agoIt seems to me that the very reason we're uncomfortable is because we have evolved a warning system deterring us from overexerting ourselves in the heat. You can literally run some animals to death because of their relative inefficiency at dumping waste heat. Our homeostatic systems are generally superior but will also fail at some point.
