(63,221 posts)I grew up in upstate NY and we did not heat the upstairs at night (kept the vents closed) as my parents did not like the heat.
However, I slept like a rock in the cold and even when I went to college and lived in a sorority house we slept in a "cold dorm" which was the top floor of the house where the windows had to stay open year round even in below zero weather. We just bundled up with down comforters and heavy blankets and again. It was such a sound, deep sleep.
It has been hot here in Boston, but has cooled down into the low 70's over the last day or two which is tolerable. I have AC and a fan, and I do keep it very cool. I am one of those people who cracks the windows open even when it's in the 30's or 40's at night because I love the cool night air.
Bottom line, I agree with you about sleeping in the cold or cooler air. It always helps!
