I often wear a very comfortable bathrobe from Eddie Bauer at night. Usually, but not always, over some sleeping pants or a pair of pajamas as well. It looks something like this:

^^^^^^ Thats the kind ^^^^^.

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've never owned a dressing gown or bathrobe in my life

I like wearing these for when I go skating

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.

They are definitely a step up.

I got my first bath robe when I was going into the hospital for heart surgery when I was 20. It was far more comfortable than the hospital gowns. I had to wear a hospital gown going to surgery, in the ICU, and in the recovery room (whatever they called it). The rest of the time, I wore the bath robe.

Ice skating? Roller blades? Quads? Skate boards?

Bad thyroid...? wilsons disease....?
Been fighting , been so selfish about my heavey goose down comforter that I havent even taken it ,out of the bag. it looks so comfy.. its like I DO NOT want to wear it out...So far. The heater and the heating pad and blankets .Have been just adequate enough. But am ready , when it gets below freezing here .
