Sleeping position is usually the same every night. It’s worth observing your habits because they can tell you a lot. For example, if you always have one leg sticking out and the other leg under the duvet, you may be surprised, but even such a small detail has its meaning.
Always the same position
There are many people in the world who can fall asleep with both feet comfortably under the cover, but the moment they fall asleep, regardless of the ambient temperature, they immediately stick one foot out from the duvet.
Explanation
Our feet are the only part of the body where no hair grows. They have a very special and specific vascular structure that differs from other vascular structures in the body, so we can say they have something original that no other part of our body has. For most of the night the feet remain cool, even if your room is, for example, 30 degrees Celsius.
Ideal sleeping temperature
The ideal temperature for sleeping in a closed room is around 18 degrees Celsius. That’s why it’s very hard to fall asleep when it’s warm. Human feet then play a very important role because they help cool your entire organism.
The body is very smart
Even if we ourselves may not realize that we are hot, the body senses the ambient temperature and, if necessary, simply sticks one or both feet out from under the covering while sleeping. Maybe that’s why you sometimes catch yourself sleeping at night with the duvet wrapped around your torso, but with your feet positioned so they are exposed to the air.
What to do?
If this happens to you often, try airing out the room before going to bed and turning off the heating. You’ll sleep better, so nightmares are less likely and you’ll rest better overall. If that doesn’t help, you can try changing the blanket.
Maybe your comforter isn’t breathable, is heavy and made of the wrong material. Choose lighter options that won’t restrict you in your sleep and will be comfortable.
