Overheating the brain....
I am one of these types that just turns on the sweat tap with very little effort. I am in very good shape.
The thing is I believe when I get hot (which doesn't take much), say, in the cockpit, I just can't seem to concentrate, to think about eta's, checks, lookout, instrument flying suddenly seems to overload me.
I have a neck like a giraffe and humans evolved with necks because our brains would overheat if too close to the core (chest organs etc).
I'm actually a bit concerned about this. Am I talking bollocks? A friend suggested yoga to control breathing etc. I just think its my metabolism.
Any comments?
