There have been nights when I've slept with the house at around 14 degrees because of broken heating. Even wearing a wool sweater and a hat under the blankets, I found it difficult to sleep and woke up exhausted. It's probably possible to acclimatize over time, but that would be a major adjustment. I think I'll be keeping my windows closed for now! But thanks for the info.<BR/><BR/>Syb: Hi, and thank you! *bashful* ;-)<BR/>I'm glad that you're still reading.

But I started opening the window if my room was warmer than 15C, because the best sleep is in a room cooler than 16C (according to those in the know).

My ex-mother in law also keeps a window open all night, even through the winter. I can't handle it - I sleep with about a million blankets even with the windows closed and the thermostat turned up. However I should probably air out my house during the day more often than I do.<BR/><BR/>Jameil: Thank you! I spent a long time looking for the right one. I'm very pleased with it.<BR/><BR/>Ron: That would be totally cool! I think if I'd gotten a double bed, it would have slotted into that space with inches to spare. Gives a whole new meaning to "bedroom", i.e. a room which contains a bed, and only a bed.<BR/><BR/>Karen: The windowless room does see some action, but we don't really miss the window on those occasions either! There are... other priorities. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Ken just reminded me that there is a second exit from that room - the closet segues into a little furnace room, which has a door that opens out into the foyer. So as long as you ducked, you could get through there and escape a fire. Phew! I was worried for a minute that we were sleeping in a fire trap!<BR/><BR/>San: Yes, I love the nook. Before the bed moved in there, I had it set up as a meditation space. It has good vibes. And a nice view in the summer, of the neighbour's tree.Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-56193766778312487752008-03-15T18:30:00.000-04:002008-03-15T18:30:00.000-04:00That looks like a cozy setup, Red.

I sleep with my window open at nights (unless its really freezing outside). It's funny, but even though I sleep with my bedroom door open (old habit from when I had a cat), I still wake up feeling stuffy if the window has been closed all night. So I pile extra blankets on my bed and always have a hot water bottle for the feet, so I can open that window. Considering Ken's breathing trouble, maybe an open window or a good airing with outside air (a cross draft) might help.Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.com
