Journal tuxette's Journal: body heat - a poll 27

Journal by tuxette
Here is the thread that inspired this topic ;-)

So...what are you like at night? A pile of roasting coals? An ice cube? Is your partner the opposite? Do you think it's a guy-gal thing? Or a front for the +5 Feet of Ice Evil Mutants?

  • I would more say something like temperatures at which fusion occurs, but that's just me. SmilingGirl always says she's cold, but I think she's a furnace too ;-)
  • im always toasty warm, Mrs BugZRevengE always cold
    Might be a girl/guy thing, I always hear it is that way
    • The thing is that except for ca. 5 minutes right when I actually go to bed, you can fry eggs and bacon on my body because I get so warm. Let's see how many of the other gals here on /. are the same way. Or opposite ;-)
  • I generate inhuman amounts of heat. Most of the women I've known seem to produce cold.
  • i'm like an oven...i heat up the whole bed...always been like that...my ex was always cold...especially in the feet!
  • O flightless waterfowl-ess, surely the answer is right on your fin.

    Cold feet are Nature's way of saying who really runs the show. ;-)

    To answer your poll, I am normal temperature. BoE is a walking talking bag of liquid nitrogen. And that's in the summer.

    Cheers,

    • Despite popular belief, big webbed feet are actually quite warm, especially with that layer of blubber...er feathers over them.

      Yep...and that's boyfriend of tuxette. He likes to warm his +5 Feet of Ice on my +5 Belly of Brimstone. He wins that battle there...

  • From my point of view, my legs always feel cold and my upper body is running too hot. I usually have to have some sort of blanket over my feet even in summer when it's hot - otherwise I get cramps in my calves.
    • Heeeey, good to see you back as you ;-)

      My legs almost never feel cold, and you know it's really cold in the apartment when I have to put socks or slippers on. Otherwise it's barefoot all the way...*sits back and waits for the obvious jokes*

  • I'm warm. Always. Except when I'm cold. And if I'm cold, you can bet a year's supply of dead fish it's COLD outside.

    My wife, on the other hand, is pretty much always cold.

    It's funny, cause once we get in bed, she will take the heat I am radiating, condense it, then blow it back at me 3 times hotter than when it left me.

    I usually end up with no covers during the night, because I kick them off.

      I'm the same way most of the time. If I get cold it's either really COLD outside (as in so cold the polar bears light bonfires in order to stay warm), or I'm sick, or I've had too much alcohol to drink...

      And considering how hungry I am now, a year's supply of dead fish would make a great snack right about now ;-)

  • I wake up shivering most of the time, and have to curl into a little ball at night. Fortunately boyfriend is very warm, so I don't freeze on the weekends at least.
  • If it's cold in the room, I need blankets, but I stay pretty warm. Now when it's summer, I usually have a very light cover on, and maybe the fan. However, most of the girls I've slept beside have radiated so much heat that I have to uncuddle every hour or so, lest I break into a sweat.
  • I'm with you, I can't understand why anyone wears clothes to bed. Those times that I fall asleep with something on I wake up in the morning feeling terrible.

    I like the room cold when I am sleeping. In the summer, I sleep under a fan to approximate the effect. If the room is too warm, I can't sleep no matter how tired I am. In the worst part of the summer I'll get up in the middle of the night and take a shower to cool off. I'm warm.
    • If I fall asleep wearing clothes, I end up ripping them off at some point in the middle of the night. Though sometimes I'll wear a t-shirt to suck up all the sweat from being so friggin' warm. Ick...
  • My wife encases herself in flannel when the nights get cold. She's an ice cube. I, on the other hand, sleep only in my shorts, no matter how cold it is. I heat up the bed for the two of us.
  • That'd be me. Something has to counter the back of flames and hot coals that Some Guy develops. He shouldn't be allowed to be under blankets. It's too dangerous.
    • See, that's me too, but I *like* being cold. There's nothing worse than having to sleep next to a furnace, it's too damn hot!

      This is why we use the +5 Feet of Ice to defeat the +5 Boiling Inferno. Because properly placed, the Feet of Ice will win every time.

  • ... waaay too hot. Even in winter I tend to have the window open a crack just to have a good nights sleep.

    On the weekend they turned the heating on in the building and it took me three days to figure out why I had such a crappy night sleep. Now the window is open a bit and it's cooler and I can sleep fine again.

    The only time I get reallly cold is if I am not eating enough, having cold hands while sitting at the computer is a good indication that I haven't eaten in a while.
    • There's no central heating where I live. The bedroom doesn't even have a heater in it, and there's no way we're getting a space heater.

      I have no idea when the last time was we actually closed the window. I think we closed it when we went away on holiday..last year...

      • There is a vent in my bedroom, which is nice in the summer when it's humid outside and you have the AC running, but in all reality is in the winter my neighbours seem to be freezing, I can't remember once since I lived here to have the heating on in winter, more the window open.

        As for the Men vs. Women thing: Most women I know are always freezing. No matter what.
  • ...of having a gf with a high body temperature. The boobs are perfect hand warmers for those of us with chronically cold hands :-)
  • except when my wife is cold, then of course I'm hot.

    I do have poor cirtulation, so that is probably why I am usually cold. And my wife has thyroid disease, which may help explain her elevated metabolism leading to higher average body temperature.

    Complex creatures, we are.
  • My wife reckons I radiate a lot of heat at night.
    I'm not sure myself.

  • Last time I had a g/f live with me, I would end up in the morning with no sheets on me, sweating, while my g/f had a double layer of blankets and sheets and comforters -- everything that started the night on top of me -- and she would still be shivering. Teeth chattering sometimes! During the summer, I cannot sleep below the sheets or I'll drown in my own sweat during the night. And this is the Chicago summer, where my home is cooled to 78 degrees F. It's not like I live anywhere where it's actually hot
