hate to say this but in addition to the above bedclothes and stuff. Even been know to use a heating pad, on nights , cannot get my body temperature to normalize . Oddly enough,seems to help with sore backs at night sometimes.
I know how that goes. Ever since my thyroid quit about ten years ago, I have been unable to stay warm.
On my blanket above the top sheet are:
1) an electric blanket
2) a thick blanket with a picture of two horses on it
3) a thin blanket to cover
4) a heavy duty goose down comforter
When I was a kid, I would sometimes sleep with my window open down to about 10-15 Fahrenheit. The house had no heat upstairs and so it was normally about 40 Fahrenheit upstairs in the winter anyway. There was also no running water upstairs so I didn't have to worry about the pipes freezing. In addition to this, the entire heat for the house was a gas heater in the living room that we had to turn off at night.
So it wasn't all that bad to sleep with the window open even on really cold nights. I'd only do that if I had four or five layers of blankets on top of me. In the morning, I'd have to grab my clothes, run downstairs, and stand in front of the fire in the living room to get dressed.
Later, when I moved to a city, I tried sleeping with an open window but the city noises would keep me awake. The only noises in the winter at home were from horses, cattle, dogs, occasional coyotes, trucks on a highway half a mile away (maybe about one every hour or two at night), and a gas plant about seven miles away. In the summer, we got all that as well as frogs croaking out in the pond.
