I prefer it cold

This evening I wasn't feeling so well - constant coughing and runny nose (even AFTER taking some cold and cough medicine) - so i went to sleep earlier than normal (around midnight). I made hubby promise he would turn down the thermostat before he went to sleep because he was staying up a little later and didn't want "to freeze" if i turned it down.

Usually, as soon as he heads to sleep, I turn the thermostat down from 70 to around 55 - 60.

Well, he didn't turn it down. And I can't sleep when it's too warm. Especially since I got used to sleeping in super cold in our old apt (in the winter - in the summer it was sleeping in the warm - which i don't do so well). So I woke up 3 hours later sweating and haven't been able to get back to sleep since. I have turned the heat down tho, so hopefully I will be able to sleep soon as it cools down enough.




Seriously, I leave the heat at around 60 during the day until hubby gets home (or i take a shower - i turn it up then so it's not cold when i get out soaking wet). I turn it up when he gets home from work cuz he's always freezing. He's a chef, so he's in extreme heat all day (worse in the summer). I prefer to dress warm and cover up with throws. Plus, like i said, I can't sleep when it's warm. (i don't know how i survived when i was a kid - we didn't have air conditioning).

I must say tho, i am really glad that we have a furnace and i have the ability to be too warm. Last winter was so incredibly rough. I hate the situation that caused us to move, but I'm ultimately glad we did.
