Sleeping hot

One of the differences between husband and wife in our household: body temperature.

With the temperatures dropping, I've added the down comforter to the bed. I love winter, but I hate being cold. So my solution is to always have a blanket, down comforter, sweater, fleece jacket, socks, and slippers on hand.

Michael hates the down comforter. He's not a fan of blankets. He sleeps with minimal wear and barely a sheet. And he wants the fan running all the time and no heater on. I'm on the other side of the bed with all the covers - inches thick up to my chin, with fllannel PJ pants and socks on.

This is one of those situations where we baffle eachother year after year. It makes me laugh. One thing I've noticed is that Maggie, very much like Michael in many ways, runs hot like he does. Go figure. I thought it was a girl thing.

  1. Long story short is that you're out numbered dear. It's not that I like to be cold but I don't like laying in bed with some many blankets and covers that it makes it hard to move. As it is I have to top off on fluids before bed so I don't wakeup dehydrated.

  2. Sounds like Keith and I! The part I hate the most is our fan. It is soooo loud.

  3. Do what Ed and I do! He snuggles up to me every night so I can cool him off, and he can warm me up! It's like having an electric blanket you don't have to plug in. :)
