Take a moment to examine your roof and check for "popped nails." These are nails that were used to secure roofing shingles that have popped up over time. Humidity, environmental factors or simple warping can cause a few nails to loosen and raise up. Why is this important to address now? Because a popped nail means there is a small hole where water can seep in and create damage. If you live in an area that is prone to heavy storms, it also could be an area of the roof that "lifts" during a storm, creating even more damage. If you see several popped nails, have a professional fix them.

As the temperatures begin to dip, the cold air can also reduce the air pressure in your tires. Take a few seconds to check your tire pressure and put air in them to get them back to the right setting. If this isn't in your wheelhouse to do yourself, you can also ask for the pressure to be checked the next time your car is in for regular maintenance. You also should ask if the tread on your tires is acceptable. If it's too worn down, they could present problems during the snowy winter months.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, the ideal temperature to get the best sleep is 65 degrees. While this may sound cold to many of you, the organization says a room that is too warm can make it difficult to get quality sleep. Fall and winter months are a good time to test this theory; lower the thermostat to 65 degrees and use blankets and socks to stay warm. When you wake up (rested, hopefully!), you can raise the thermostat back to a warmer temperature. You'll achieve a better sleep and save money on your heating costs at the same time, too.
