cool/fresh air really helps me too actually

I think its mostly temperature, since its too cold to have my windows open in the winter and I don't have much trouble then

One of the things that triggers sleep is falling body temperature. Not specifically "being cold," it's the decrease that does it, which is why a hot shower to push your core temp up makes you sleepy afterward as you cool down.
