Fortunately, my housemate is a Collie named Sophie. She's very amiable. During my hot flashes, she doesn't bark one word when I crank up the A/C. And during cold snaps, she curls up under the blanket with me. In comparison to former housemates, she rocks the place. :-)
ROTFLOL, Sandie!! Love it!!
Mel and I fluctuation, so we both dress in layers.
Okay, I meant we fluctuate from hot to cold, and my auto speller took over. I hate that thing.
Like you, we use fans. My daughter and I slept in same bed for years before I met my DH and I never knew she would be one who gets hot while sleeping. Now she requests a fan every night, even in winter. Now I'm thinking back at how she always piled the covers on top of me. I guess that was the reason!
Hahaha! You and Jim sound like Pete and me.
Would you believe that DH and I had to get separate beds and then separate bedrooms to deal with the snoring, the different sleep cycles and sleep needs, and especially the heat?!? The good news is...and I can promise that it will be this way to some degree (sorry for the pun; couldn't resist) for every woman...the heat won't last!! Once you are finally over menopause you will cool way down. Now I am understanding why older women wear sweaters all the time and keep their heat turned up. They are COLD!!
Last winter was the first time in 30 years that I was cold during the winter. And this summer, even with illness and fever, I did not turn the A/C to the depths that I used to. One positive thing (among others) to this post-menopausal business is that my summer electric bill will drop dramatically. Unfortunately my winter gas/heating bill will go up just as dramatically. Sigh. Guess it never ends!
My husband's favorite thing to do is to sit in a hot car when the temperature outside gets close to 100. Insanity. He oozes heat, his body feels like a furnace. He can scoot up to me in bed for about 20 seconds before I have to THROW the covers off!
I like it cold. Our solution? He gets extra blankets, poor guy. But basically? I win. It's cooler in the room so I can survive.
My problem is that my own body is never the same temperature. Sometimes I'm hot, sometimes I'm cold. Usually fluctuating within the same night. LOL Looking forward to leveling off one day. Katie, I hear you. I love to snuggle, but can only take that extra heat for a limited time. If I'm in a "cold" cycle, that's okay though. :-)
