And husband is always cold. We have an electric blanket with dual controls. He cranks his side way up to 5 and mine is never above 1, which sometimes still is too hot for me and I throw off the blanket when I wake up in the middle of the night five times more or less because I never sleep well. And, no, it’s not “hot flashes.” Been there, done with ‘em.

I told him he’s lucky he has a hot wife….
