How to stay safe while sleeping in a cool/cold house

Hey no problem, I know a few people who are not dog lovers.

Not all dogs I dislike... those dogs that look like a hotdog I like a lot, cause they're cute, and sleep on my lap.
 
Cover your ears! We loose heat through our ears so easily- I usually sleep with a hoodie on and pull the hood up if I know its going to get cold.

My mom and brother have three dogs, scottie, dachshund(hot dog) pit bull mix. The dachshund is the smallest but also the meanest. I never get to close to that dog, she likes to snap.

They each have their personalities-- dachshunds like to use my lap as a sleeping pad, and that's something I'm okay with.

I wear hooded sweatershirt and two thick blankets when I go to sleep.
 
Jeez you guys are making me sweat just thinking about it. How can you sleep in all that stuff? I hate wearing even socks to bed, I will :) but if my feet get warm I yank em off and throw then in the general direction of the hamper

Because we have practice when it comes to cold, and we're used to it.

There's others ways to be warm than wearing hoodies to bed ;) omg that sounds so uncomfortable. I think you can be warmer wearing less clothes and warmer blankets, it gives your body heat more room to circulate. That's why mittens are warmer than gloves.

True, but in some cases, wearing thick clothing is necessary, like for winters in Chicago. Now as for summer, when I sleep, I wear less.
 
Microfiber blankets. Put one on your bed under you comforter and you won't have to bundle up under your blankets. Really really, you would be warmer with those and pjs than wearing 3 layers to bed. You can't true, because you don't understand the concept letting you body heat circulate within the blankets than trapping it under layers of clothes. But whatever. Carry on........btw I lived in NH for 16 years, I do have some practice with the cold. You might be colder at first when you get in bed but you'll be warmer in the long run.

Microfiber....... sounds warm. Where can I get one of these?
 
Someone mentioned an electric blanket before ... try one of those ... put it over your top sheet and another regular blanket over the top of the electric blanket ... turn it on low 15 minutes before you go to bed it'll be warm ... the top blanket keeps the heat in ... wearing clothes to bed isn't comfortable I'd hang myself wearing a hoodie ... and socks would drive me insane ... I sleep better when its chilly but warm under the covers...

Walmart. If it's really really cold I put it under the sheet and tuck it under me, like a cocoon especially my feet. Eventually I get real warm and untuck myself, just have it over me. I had to take mine off the bed. I've been using one if my moms comforters, my quilt which is good for warmer climates w/ the microfiber blanket is in storage, but it's too much with this comforter. It was giving me night sweats crazy bad.

Thanks. I'll look into that.
 
I am used to wearing a hoodie. It does not bother me at all.

Yeah, well.... the new furnace here at my house has made my room stuffy, and I highly doubt I'll be needing a blanket for a while. Just need to sleep like a regular dude, and I'll be dandy. :)
