Every winter, I feel like it has gotten cooler than the year before. Maybe it is since every year, I grow older and my metabolic process slows down. This year, I chose to determine how to remain warm in bed. My blankets are not any warmer and I didn't want to alter blankets so I chose to try other ways. Here is what I attempted and what seemed to work for me.

Warmer pajamas: I am used to wearing shorts and a t-shirt to bed. Or, sometimes, I'll use a hot camisole for my partner and I to enjoy. This winter, I tried wearing long sleeve pajamas. I really attempted different kinds. I attempted the flannel pajamas. They were very warm and I felt great all night. The only thing was that I didn't get to feel the softness of my down blanket versus my body - something that I really take pleasure in. Also, I didn't feel as appealing going to sleep, something that I like to feel as well, particularly with my hubby sleeping beside me. Next, I attempted wearing these silk pajamas. They definitely felt soft to the touch, however weren't as warm as the flannel. It still worked much better than a camisole or shorts and a tee shirt.

Heated blanket: Although I like my blankets, I decided to include a heated blanket beneath them just for my body. The heated blanket worked too well. I was almost too hot and my spouse and I were afraid of starting a fire in the middle of the night considering that the blanket needed to be plugged in. While this option was good, I chose I would just utilize it for times when I am resting on the couch and reading and need some additional warmth. I'm keeping the blanket, but am not going to use it to go to sleep.

Of course, you don't have to buy these socks and you can constantly just wear any set of cotton socks to bed, however these are made especially to keep your feet warm all night. I in fact attempted using these with my shorts and tee shirt and discovered that it made a big distinction in how warm I felt. Of course wearing socks to bed felt a little foreign to me at first, however eventually I got used to it.

My blankets are not any warmer and I didn't want to change blankets so I decided to try other ways. The only thing was that I didn't get to feel the softness of my down blanket against my body - something that I actually delight in. Heated blanket: Although I like my blankets, I decided to add a heated blanket below them simply for my body. The heated blanket worked too well. I'm keeping the blanket, however am not going to mattress pad warmer use it to go to sleep.
