OK, let's be honest. Have you ever put a hot water bottle under your quilt to warm up the bed, and then put it on your feet? I have never experienced this particular joy until last night. It gets chilly here at night up in the mountains, about 50 degrees or so. Early morning at 6:30 is brisk, but the temperature rises quickly when the sun comes up.So, we go from wearing sweaters and fleece to early yoga, to sunbathing and taking walks wearing sleeveless tops from 10 to 3.
Anyway, last night I saw someone trudging off to bed hugging a hot water bottle to her chest with a big grin on her face. I asked Uni if I too could have a hot water bottle (I'll call them HWB for short) as I had never tried one...pure bliss! I put the HWB under the blankets for a few minutes and slid into a deep sleep with the HWB near my feet.
I highly recommend this method, especially during the chilly New England winter that most of you are enduring.
You will not be sorry.
Sign me up! For HWB at bedtime and oil messages in the AM : )
