For such a long time, I’d wake up in a puddle of sweat from overheating in our sleep; I’d constantly called myself a warm sleeper because of this.
I’d tried setting the thermostat to several low temperatures, but none of them ever made a difference.
I had also added a portable fan, which barely helped. I could set the gas furnace to 65 degrees and I’d still wake up perspiring. I’d constantly assumed that my heated gas furnace was broken and it was causing our home office to get hotter than all the other rooms in the house, but this was how I lived our life, or so I had assumed. This past week, I got really sick and had to quarantine in our room alone! My hubby moved all his belongings for the next 10 mornings to our guest home office and let me be in isolation; During our first night alone though, I slept the entire evening and didn’t wake up from overheating once. I assumed it had something to do with our illness, however, when the same thing happened the fifth and third night too, I understood what was really causing me to overheat all these years. It wasn’t the gas furnace that was broken or a faulty thermostat, it was our hubby! My hubby was naturally a warm bodied person, and he was causing me to overheat every night while he slept next to me. His body adored a personal heater. I couldn’t wrap my head around it! I finally realized this when he detached himself from our bed while in our quarantine.
