Episode notes
Use Foot Temperature To Regulate Sleep
- Warm feet before sleep then allow them to cool during sleep to open foot vasculature and aid core cooling.
- Try wearing socks to bed and kicking them off as you fall asleep or use warmed feet briefly before lights-out.
DIY Test For Thermoregulation Issues
- Test if temperature disruptions cause your awakenings by sleeping with frozen water bottles in socks against your hips.
- If that improves sleep, consider targeted cooling solutions rather than blanket temperature changes.
