people who live in cold areas

do you just turn the heat up every night?

if you lots of blankets how do you keep your head warm, because i wouldn't be able to sleep with a blanket over my head.

No, at night the heat usually goes down a few degrees. You simply use a couple of blankets. As for your head getting cold, I haven't noticed it. Of course, I still have hair on top of my head.

What does "cold" mean to you?

I sleep far, far better at 60°F than at 70°F. So in both the summer and winter I turn down the temperature so I can sleep like a baby. At sleeping temperatures of 80°F I burn up, sweat under my back, the mattress is a hot damp sponge, and I can't ever get cool. I can't see how people can sleep like that. But they do.

When it is really cold, I let myself get freezing cold and then I jump into a soft bed with cozy comforter and tuck it in so I won't ever want to get out. To me that is a heck of a lot better than tossing and turning with legs out of the sheets just so some sweat can evaporate enough so I don't go into heat convulsions. I want to be in a situation where I WANT to be in the bed not where I WANT to be out of the bed and in a cold shower just to stop the heat exhaustion. Cool is the only way to have that.

I sleep better when it's cold. All snuggled up under the blankets with the SO. Minus the SO since I'm some random ATOT geek.

Define cold.
Living in a cold area doesn't mean that you live in a frosty house...

you get used to the cold

One time I at my parents house, there were a bunch of family members staying over, so I opted to sleep in the roughed in attic. I could see my breath!! I had 3 comforters over me and slept like a baby, it was great

 

[MisterCornell]

It's called "turning on the heat".

 

[DnetMHZ]

wtf are you talking about?? colder the better while sleeping, I turn my heat OFF at night

 

[Eli]

You go camping.

 

[Mr N8]

I turn the heat DOWN to 58'F. I sleep with a sheet and a light blanket over me. I still wake up hot (mostly because my wife gets cold, and has to sleep close ).

 

[vi edit]

Pa usually takes a piping hot coal out of the fire, puts it in a bucket, and puts it at the foot of the bed.

I prefer it cold and open all the windows -- I have slept above the sheets in just shorts before when it is 25F - seriously.

Although lately, that is too much and I find myself using the sheets when I lie down, sometimes even pulling them up while asleep, unless it is above 50 or so. Guess I am getting old.

 

[DaWhim]

always at 70f degree and my humidifier always on.

what is with all of the idiotic threads seemingly by people with <50 posts

 

[piasabird]

Try an electric blanket and maybe some insulation in your house. Not everyone in the midwest and northern reaches lives in a shack.

 

[DT4K]

Maybe you haven't heard.
There is this really cool new invention called a heater.
It actually makes it possible for people to keep their houses EXACTLY the same temperature in the winter whether they live in North Dakota or Arizona. :Q

 

[DaFinn]

Hmm, I live in Finland (=COLD) and my room temperature is constant 20C... Maybe I'm missing something???
