Do you have a thick blanket then? Or are you just covered with a thin bed sheet while the air around you is 65 degrees F (18 degrees C)? That sounds like it would be freezing.

I have 3 not so tick blankets so that I regulate the temperature further yes. For some reason I am extremely sensitive to temperature.

I'm wondering why you find it better to have a cold room but then heat the body with blankets vs. just using fewer (or no) blankets and having a higher room temperature. It's pretty interesting in any case, thanks for the answer!

1) any part of you out from under the blankets (face, perhaps) feels the coolness.

2) I can't sleep with few or no blankets anyway. I mean I could probably adjust to it over time, or if I'd hiked 20 miles that day I bet I could, but I certainly can't right now under ordinary circumstances.

I don't start to think a room's too cold for comfortable sleeping until it's under like 60F. My sleep gets worse if it's over about 68.
