Every winter season, I seem like it has gotten colder than the year before. Maybe it is because every year, I age and my metabolic process decreases. This year, I chose to find out how to remain warm in bed. My blankets are not any warmer and mattress warmer queen I didn't wish to alter blankets so I chose to attempt other ways. Here is what I tried and what seemed to work for me.

Warmer pajamas: I am used to using shorts and a t-shirt to bed. Or, sometimes, I'll wear an attractive camisole for my spouse and I to delight in. This winter, I tried wearing long sleeve pajamas. I in fact tried different kinds. I tried 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 delight in. I didn't feel as appealing going to bed, something that I like to feel as well, particularly with my hubby sleeping next to me. Next, I tried using these silk pajamas. They certainly 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 chose to include a heated blanket beneath them just for my body. The heated blanket worked too well. I was nearly too hot and my other half and I were afraid of starting a fire in the middle of the night because the blanket had to be plugged in. While this choice was good, I decided I would just use it for times when I am resting on the couch and reading and need some extra warmth. I'm keeping the blanket, however am not going to use it to go to sleep.

Cashmere bed socks: This was another option advised to me by a pal. At first, when she mentioned it, I had no concept what cashmere bed socks were. I found out that they are specific socks that you can purchase to wear to bed. Naturally, you don't have to buy these socks and you can constantly simply wear any set of cotton socks to bed, however these are made especially to keep your feet warm all night. I actually tried wearing these with my shorts and tee shirt and found that it made a huge difference in how warm I felt. Surprisingly, these worked really well and I didn't have to fear a fire or change what I generally used. Obviously using socks to bed felt a little foreign to me initially, but eventually I got utilized to it.

My blankets are not any warmer and I didn't desire to alter blankets so I decided to attempt other methods. The only thing was that I didn't get to feel the softness of my down blanket versus my body - something that I actually take pleasure in. Heated blanket: Although I love my blankets, I chose to add a heated blanket underneath them simply for my body. The heated blanket worked too well. I'm keeping the blanket, but am not going to utilize it to go to sleep.
