I Wasn’t Made For Central Heat & Air

Surely by now you’ve seen either the commercial or QVC time slot for the “Sleep Number” bed. You can customize firmness/softness for each sleeper in this kind of bed – unless of course you’re those people who sleep with your children. And then you’re just out of luck… and your mind. But what I want to know is – when can we find a way to heat and cool the room specific to the likes and dislikes of the inhabitants? Don’t even think a space-heater is a great idea. Because it is. But it’s not.

Somehow, it’s hard to regulate the temp in our room alone. I think it’s FREEZING. But adjust the entire thermostat and the living room is boiling and the heating bill is then really dumb. Maybe the thermostat is the issue. Maybe the windows need to be caulked. But really what I’m trying to say is – the worst suggestion would be to “bundle up”. When this happens, all things get better. But then I break a sweat. And then I have to throw my covers off violently. And then my damp self joins the Polar Bear Club and I freeze again. This goes on all night and I don’t sleep – and then we all pay. Or should I say everyone around me does?

Today I found a HUGE down blanket sewn as a giant parka… think: down "Snuggy". I didn’t buy it and now I’m sorry.
