During the Winter, I sleep on my (memory-foam mattress) bed, with a heated mattress pad, fitted sheet, top sheet, two blankets, and an comforter. Sounds pretty "toasty", huh.
Well, the heated mattress pad, has two controllers (one right side, one left side), each has settings of off, 1-5.
My body is naturally cold. I feel cold even when it's hot outside. Last Summer, I always had a blanket on me, even though the temperatures were in the 80's-90's.
I sit up in bed a lot (to work on my laptop or watch TV, etc.), so my lower body stays warm, and my upper body is exposed, so it stays cool.
When I lay down on the bed, to rest or to sleep, I usually have my heated mattress pad cranked up to 5 and
I cover up, with all sheets and blankets.
However, it doesn't take long before I feel too hot, and kick one of my legs out from under all the covers and such.
If I try not to turn on the mattress pad, and just use the sheets and blankets, I don't get warm enough.
Cold is bad, causes more tremors, speech troubles, etc.
Heat is bad, increases fatigue, increases blackouts, cognitive troubles, etc.
How do you try to maintain a perfect bodily temperature balance?
My normal body temperature, is low, 96.7 degrees.
For me, it's kinda hard to keep that balance.
Some like it Hot, some like it Cold, we wish it to be (Goldie Locks) Just Right.
