I like the bedroom cooler, but my wife prefers it warmer. We both like getting under the covers to get warm, though.

Maybe we will try getting used to a higher temperature and see if we sleep more soundly.

cool, with a blanket; prefer cold with blankets and night cap, rare in FL.

And the 3 bears came home, found a blonde in their bed, so they all hopped in and lived happily ever after.

Whenever I have a bad dream and wake up all sweaty, I wonder if I’m sweaty because I had a bad dream, or I had a bad dream because I was too warm.

This meshes well with my wearing sweatpants and socks discovery to better sleep.

REM sleep is high frequency low amplitude waves of about 60 to 70 Hz. This is in the gamma frequency of consciousness.

REM sleep decreases as a person gets older.

REM sleep frequency is higher than lucid dreaming g frequency of 30 you 40 Hz.

Beau and I both like it cooler in the bedroom.

72 in summer (when it’s 90+ outside) and 58 in the winter (when it’s freezing or below zero outside)...which makes absolutely NO sense, whatsoever!

We’re both VERY happy that I’m past that ‘Hot Flash’ stage, though; for a number of years he was seriously working on a way to trap heat from menopausal women as an energy source, LOL!

This must be why I have insomnia. I have dark hair.

Funny.
I find that a good, hard day’s work helps me sleep quite well.

Melatonin?

On behalf of the collectivist zombies, I say we need more soma and NLP therapy, and anyone who disagrees and says we can’t sleep because we are having spiritual turmoil should be labeled a terrorist.

Yeah, gotta spend some grant money (tax dollars) to find this out. Here’s the answer for FREE - if you’re too hot or too cold, you don’t get comfortable so you toss and turn and are constantly thinking someone should adjust the a/c. As a result, you don’t get into a nice comfy REM state. But then everyone knows that but keep wasting money.

65 degrees and just a sheet is “just right”.
