Every winter, I seem like it has actually gotten chillier than the year prior to. Possibly it is because every year, I age and my metabolism slows down. This year, I chose to find out how to remain warm in bed. My blankets are not any warmer and I didn't wish to alter blankets so I decided to try other methods. Here is what I tried and what appeared to work for me.

The only thing was that I didn't get to feel the softness of my down blanket versus my body - something that I actually enjoy. I didn't feel as attractive going to bed, something that I like to feel as well, specifically with my spouse sleeping next to me. Next, I tried wearing these silk pajamas.

Heated blanket: Although I like my blankets, I decided to add a heated blanket underneath them just for my body. The heated blanket worked too well.

Cashmere bed socks: This was another choice advised to me by a pal. In the beginning, when she discussed it, I had no idea what cashmere bed socks were. I discovered that they specify socks that you can purchase to wear to bed. Of course, you do not need to purchase these socks and you can constantly simply wear any pair of cotton socks to bed, but these are made particularly to keep your feet warm all night. I in fact attempted using these with my shorts and tee shirt and found that it made a big difference in how warm I felt. Surprisingly, these worked really well and I didn't need to fear a fire or change what I typically wore. Obviously using socks to bed felt a little foreign to me in the beginning, however ultimately I got used to it.

My blankets are not any warmer and I didn't desire to change blankets so I chose to heating pad attempt other ways. The only thing was that I didn't get to feel the softness of my down blanket versus my body - something that I truly delight in. Heated blanket: Although I love my blankets, I decided to add a heated blanket below them just for my body. The heated blanket worked too well. I'm keeping the blanket, however am not going to use it to go to sleep.
