Joe it may be a coincidence but unless I'm in top fitness I experience a
similar lethargy, though not as severe, and increased need for sleep for 1
to 2 days after cold exposure combined with heavy exercise. Also need to eat
about twice as much as usual for the first day. For me that's just a normal
response, sounded a bit extreme for your student though.

Steve can you describe what clothing works for you? 


All the best, PeterO
