Same here.
It used to get down to freezing in our bedroom at night. My grandmother would heat up a brick on the stove all evening long. At bed-time she would wrap it in newspaper and send us to bed with it. We would essentially hibernate under the covers until morning. My brother and I each had one in our bed.
To this day, I sleep much better in a cold bedroom.

My dad has a similar story of growing up in North Louisiana in early 30’s. His room was the screened in porch with canvas covering for the winter. His mom used heat bricks and do he same thing.
