Sleeping mysteries- the pillow and the loose foot

How is it that the down side of the pillow is cooler?

How is that taking that one foot out from under the covers makes the whole body cool down? Is it like the perfume points thing?

1. The feet and the head are major temperature control areas of the body

Does that explain it?

3. Mmmmmm

NO

Is it really that simple?

Usually my head is already out. What more do they want?

4. It really works! Put on some wool socks in bed, with no other changes

You'll find you feel a lot warmer. Put on a stocking cap in bed, and you'll notice the bottom-side of the pillow might feel noticeably cooler.

2. Well, the skin is one of the body's best resources for heat-exchange.

I think even if only your foot is exposed, that still gives your body some surface area to radiate heat away from the rest of your body.

Naturally, you'd cool off a lot quicker if your whole body was exposed, but on a winter's night, who'd want that? :scared:
