Different bodies can react very differently to the same temperature
It never ceases to amaze me how different people can be when it comes to their preferences in temperature.
What is it about different human bodies that react to temperatures differently from one another? I, for example, run like a furnace! Not only am I typically able to feel comfortable at temperatures that make other people freezing cold, my body also gives off a lot of heat! My wife is amazed at how warm I always am to the touch.
However, she is the complete opposite of me. She is freezing when I am perfectly fine. Her hands and feet feel ice cold to the touch, even in hot and humid weather sometimes. This, of course, leads to going at it with each other concerning the thermostat. At a temperature that is perfect for me, my love’s teeth are chattering. Even when I hug her to give her warmth sometimes, she’s still cold, even under thick blankets! Eventually, I will concede to her complaints and turn the thermostat up a degree or two. That’s usually enough, but with that slight change, suddenly, I’m hot! I still love my wife to pieces and I’m willing to make that sacrifice. However, I can’t lie when I say that a cooler temperature would definitely help give me a better night’s rest. At least I started to use a box fan on my side of the bed to keep me cooler. It’s a shame when you have a really nice A/C that you can’t use to its full potential.
