– If you’re warm and comfortable when going to bed, why is it so cold in the morning when the room is the same temperature?

Question

When it’s the cold season, I keep my thermostat for my room at the same temperature all the time. It’s usually warm and comfy when I go to sleep (Though if I wake up in the middle of the night it’s always too warm). If it’s at the same temperature while I feel warm when going to bed, why would it be so cold in the morning?

Answer 1

Core body temperature lowers by itself at sleeping time as part of your circadian rhythm. It raises itself again as you wake up. So your body temperature at night most likely just matches better with your room temperature and you don’t feel the difference.
