The way you're describing it - it sounds like the neck is too straight - or bowing up in the middle - which requires the truss rod loosening. You really need to evaluate the amount (or lack of) relief before adjusting.
Holding the low E down at the first and last frets (this requires two hands - or a capo) - there should be a slight gap around the 7th/8th fret.
This will tell you if you need to tighten, or loosen.
Next year I think I will just keep it on at a low level and that will be cheaper in the long run.
It's just routine maintenence
