How can someone living alone in their own apartment reduce the cost of their electric bills?

Use electricity somewhere that isn’t home. Charge phone at work or while driving your car. Shower at the gym, while at the gym work out so you are warmer, sauna, hot tub, steam room are time you aren’t home using heat. Go to work and work overtime if you can. I would work, go to the gym, go play pool at the cabana then get home at about 10PM to sleep, wake up to go to work again so didn’t need hardly any heat, also lost weight, got stronger and met people.

Use lights only as needed but switch out bulbs for LED when you can. Some don’t make sense like a closet light used 5 minutes a day but lamp and room lights can save a fortune. Computers and other things should be turned off when not needed. Christmas lights need to be LED and on timer.

Reduce heat and air conditioning with the use of nature and limited space. Turn the heat off if you are not very cold. If you can only heat one room spend more time there, same with air conditioning. Cover windows to keep out sun or cold, insulated drapes help. You can cover windows in plastic to keep down drafts. Weather strip doors and add insulation in electric outlets to make them more airtight. If you are cold think before turning on heat. Will a sweater, robe, slippers, throw, electric blanket reduce the need for heat?

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

Electric heat is a huge use of electricity, hot water is also. Alone you don’t need a huge tank of hot water like if you had a big family showering, turn the heat down on the water heater. No more than 130 degrees. If you are going on vacation turn it off. Wash laundry in cold water.
