Cold sleepers - how do you manage when you have a significant other who likes to sleep warm? I tried to adapt but my productivity, sleep and General well being are being impacted hard. Tried new blankets, various temperatures, and new sleepwear.

Sleep in a hotel? Use those miles

It’s really simple....you turn down the temperature and they pile on the blankets.

If it’s possible, sleep in separate rooms. Sounds harsh but I have met way too many couples who do this and are much happier. Doesn’t have to impact intimacy if you don’t let it.

We got a mattress pad heater. We have a queen bed so he never turns his side on. But mine is on every night during the winter time. We also went euro style and did separate comforters for some time but missed the intimacy of a shared blanket. So we ended up switching back.

I’m a warm sleeper but I like to blast the AC and pile on thick blankets to stay warm while I sleep. Sometimes I wake up soaking in sweat but that’s just how I am.

Anyway, maybe two twin size duvets for winter, and one light blanket and a light duvet for the summer? That way you don’t have to share blankets and can remove them if you want, without disturbing your partner?

Sleep with fewer clothes if you are a cold sleeper

Tempurpedic mattresses come with controlled AC on each side, it can keep you cool while your partner is warm. It’s also like 10k but may be worth the investment

Try a weighted blanket for the warm sleeper. Keeps me nice and cozy and my husband stays cool and comfortable.

Sleep nekkid.

Do that too

I am the female who prefers cold. We have a two sided heating pad for the winter. Cooling blanket for me. We cuddle until he starts cooking me and then I roll to my cooling blanket. We used to change the thermostat on each other. He now has a small heater for his office and I have a fan for mine.

Cooling blanket?? Sounds amazing. What’s it called?

sleep naked and have a small fan pointed to me

My wife sleeps way colder than I do. What generally works for us is our ceiling fan runs year round, we have bamboo sheets, and we've also got a lightweight thermal blanket on under the comforter.

During the summer, I generally flip the thermal blanket down to where it covers at most my feet, while my wife sleeps with it all the way on, and I tend to have at least one arm and most of one leg sticking out from under the blanket.

During the winter, I tend to flip the comforter down to it covering me from the knees down and just sleep with the thermal blanket and sheet covering the rest of me while the wife sleeps all cocooned up.

It's worked out fairly well for us, though we're due for a mattress replacement this summer and I'm eyeing a Purple Hybrid Premier (in lieu of my Beautyrest that I got in 2009) to see if that'll help at all.

Two twin comforters. Have been doing this with spouse for years and we love it.

Cooling sheets with a fan on me. Air set to 69.

Sleep in a separate room

Loving these! Going to try for some quick wins - less clothes tonight, fan tomorrow and looking into the cooling pad for some quick wins. Then maybe see if I can go for some bigger change elements maybe mattress.

Use the Ooler Chilly sleep pad for half the bed you can lower the temp for just you

Hello!

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.
