When the windows are open, especially for that many days in a row, the CO2 concentration must be basically the same as the local atmosphere outside. When the windows are closed (as they are normally), the CO2 concentration would go up. Brains don't work great in high CO2.
I just got the CO2 meter I ordered, and sure enough, the CO2 concentration was something like 1200 ppm and the meter showed a frowny face. The windows have been closed all day.
I opened them again lol

@malcircuit@thingy.social I love that this is now referred to as "house burping."

This is an interesting lead which I will be following going into the future. Maybe I feel tired, unfocused, and depressed because of high CO2 (at least on some days)? It would be nice, if true, because that's a problem I can solve on my own.

@malcircuit@thingy.social what one did you get? I’ve been considering that as well.
