Interesting study about cold feet in a sleeping bag

[quote]I have discovered the cure for being cold. It’s called menopause. It can be 20 degrees, my water bottles are freezing out in the vestibule, I’m shivering and my feet are frozen and then suddenly…! Emergency! Throw my sleeping bag off and relish the delight of the cool air against my skin. Then suddenly…! Emergency! Throw the sleeping bag back on before I freeze to death. Good times.[\quote]

As a fellow menopauser, this is gold. I actually thought of this as being the upside of all the hot flashes, too! “Well, at least I won’t be cold camping anymore. Just wait for a good hot flash and jump in the bag to pre-warm it. No more hot water bottles needed!” Hahaha. But yes, I’m just as likely to have a cold spell as a hot flash. I do this all the time at home.
