Cold under three blankets - seriously?!

4 Comments

So, I live in Atlanta, and it's autumn; it's 35°F outside right now. We keep the heat at about 65°F, and that's usually fine. But at night I feel like I'm freezing...under three blankets.

It keeps me awake, and no matter what I do, I can't warm up. My feet are like ice. I put on thick socks, thermal underwear, doesn't seem to help.

I'm in good health, last blood analysis said everything was fine. I'm not diabetic, my thyroid is within normal range [I used to be hyperthyroid], I'm not anaemic, I don't drink or smoke or use...well, anything. I don't even drink caffeinated beverages. I exercise every night just to get my blood pumping and help me warm up. Once I feel pretty warm, I get into bed. But half an hour later, I'm freezing.

The really mental part? This has happened during summertime.

What do you lot think?

    Moar blankets! I use 5... And if my feet are still cold I just bend my legs in closer and that usually helps...

    Turn the heater up. That would help.

    Just get an electric blanket.

    Bring one of these bottles that keep the water warm. I think you can find it at any shop.
