Before my wife married me, she lived in a very tropical climate.

She is the kind of woman that thinks that when the temperature is in the low 70s, it is cold.

While I grew up in a subtropical climate and I actually do enjoy basking in the sun and that comforting feeling of humidity every now and then (Yes, I said comforting, kind of like a warm, wet blanket) That is not exactly how I feel when it is time to go to sleep. Instead, I need my bedroom to be at least 69° or even lower. The cool, crisp air has always helped me get a much better night’s rest than when it’s hotter. I’ll even have fans in the room in the winter time to circulate the air and give me a source of white noise to lull me to sleep. Well, when we got married, I found that I needed to compromise because my wife wasn’t too crazy about the fans, but she definitely wasn’t crazy about keeping the temperature in the ’60s in our bedroom. I pleaded with her to wear extra layers, and sometimes this actually works and she lets me keep the thermostat at 70°, at the least. Other times, she just can’t get comfortable because she’s too cold and she ends up going to adjust the thermostat while I’m sleeping. Occasionally, I sleep through the night without noticing, but most of the time, I wake up in the early hours of the morning. My first thought is that someone definitely adjusted the temperature on the thermostat! Marriage is about compromise though, so we will figure it out!
