If you’ve been watching the videos, this piece may have
surprised you. A cool, but not terribly
cold room is best for sleeping. We often
tend to sleep better after our bodies have regulated our temperature. Some of you may find it helpful to wear
socks, and even mittens to bed to help you fall asleep faster. I like to have layered blankets to warm my
body as I get in bed if I am shivering, and then remove them as I warm. It is the same for socks. I may start with socks and then remove them
later, but keeping the room cool.
I remember speaking with a co-worker many years ago about
this and she mentioned that she slept with her dog and would have one or both
hands under the dog, which warmed her hands.
My, rather large, dog sleeps on the floor. I tried sharing the bed with her, but she
kept wanting and taking more space. She
is now relegated to the floor close to me.
Also, and as the video explains, a warm bath or shower, actually helps to cool the body core.
