<<Someone told me that he heard a "svara shiyur" in which the rav said
that it could be that if a sukka is not suitable for sleeping in, then
it isn't kosher for eating in. For example, if a sukka is mosquito
infected and you can't sleep in it, then you shouldn't eat in it.>>

I assume a succah big enough to put your head and most of your body in
would not be too suitable for sleeping

BTW a discussion in our shul was on the definition of "mitzaer"
is a hot day (80 how about 90 or maybe 100+) a reason to eat in the
home. On the first day could one eat a kezayit in the succah and continue inside
(with AC).
IF it is bee or mosquito infected (the whole neighborhood) perhaps one should
be patur from succah at least after the first day

I was told that if it is hot in the afternoon then one can sleep in ones
air-conditioned bedroom
