Question Time - Awkward Edition

It was quite a morning yesterday - I stepped out the door to go to work, realized it was raining rather heavily than I had imagined and decided to go back to get an umbrella. But I was spotted on the way up the stairs by the man who fixed our ceiling, his assistant and the superintendent, who caught me in their conversation and shared their hilarious anecdotes about laminate flooring for about half an hour before an opportunity for escape presented itself. By then I had decided not to bother with the train and just worked from home instead.

And I think it's once again time to open a question that came up between me and Whitney up to whoever reads this. I've been tweaking words around in this post for a while, because this might be something of an awkward one, but here goes in the best way I could find to phrase it anyway...

What do you wear while you're sleeping?

The original question was about whether there was an obvious difference in males and females preferring to wear something while asleep - anonymous comments are allowed and indeed strongly encouraged, though you'd have to also indicate your gender. Hitting me on the head with your handbag and stalking off is not encouraged, but honestly expected.

[Unknown site tag] is coldest person on the planet. She wears as many layers as possible, takes a hot water bottle to bed, along with a microwaveable cushion, an extra single duvet for her side of the bed, plus a blanket. That's a normal night. Even with all that, it is still like being touched by a block of ice.

as David knows quite well, I get very cold at night, but my body runs very warm. So while I am shivering and yelling at him to keep is freezing cold hands off my body, he uses me as a radiator. I think the being cold, is probably a girl thing.

I will second girls generally being cold. Seriously, what's up with that?

The sound of "ooh, you're so warm!" "GET YOUR BLOCK OF ICE HANDS OFF ME!" is pretty common in our house too, my husband is like a furnace.

Last night I even fell asleep in a hat...

But I'm nowhere near as bad when we're anywhere which is approaching a normal temperature! It's just this house.
