Comment on my bf says sleeping with your balls out is the male equivalent

  A sheet, a light blanket, a knitted afghan, and a heavy blanket, and that will hold in all the heat you need. The pockets in the knitted afghan trap your body heat really well, and the blankets hold it there. Works amazingly well.

  It works so well, that sometimes I have to stick a foot out from under the covers to radiate excess body heat.

    Can I also get one knitted Afghanistan man to keep me warm at night?

    I sleep with an afghan on top but I’m willing to try this other method

      The coverings on each side of the Afghan trap the warm air in the afghan’s little pockets.

    Why are feet the human radiator?

    One would expect that an extremity that is so far away from the core areas, with its limited blood flow and lack of any particularly relevant component, would be supremely inefficient at radiating heat.

    That is until you wake up feeling like an ice cube and grumpy enough to shoot the first thing that looks at you funny because one foot was uncovered.

      My circulation is terrible. I’ll have cold feet and hands while my core is too hot. Sometimes I will move the blanket so it’s over my feet and arms but my body is just under sheets. I need a blanket that is like a reverse vest.

      It works, try it. When it’s too hot under the covers, but too cold to uncover, just stick a foot out from under the covers, and you’ll be a lot more comfortable.

      It really works! I just wrote about it in a thread asking for life lessons, and I offered this, and it sparked a huge discussion, with a lot of up votes.

      For the record, those against the idea weren’t so much worried about a cold foot, they were far more concerned about monsters, and the occasional cat.

  Fuzzy sheets, a couple thick blankets, and a huge dog means it’s never too cold while sleeping. But also we’re in California so we have pretty mild winters overall too
