I sleep naked but as I get really bad cold feet I often have to put socks on. If my hands are freezing too I stick them between my thighs until they warm up.
I often have to take the socks off in the middle of the night once warmed up.
However Rufio your experience does seem extreme and is worth checking.
The good thing with the electric blanket is you can set them to turn off after a while so you can get to sleep and then not be woken in the middle of the night because you warm up. Highland cows blanket is totally useless of course

- Are you supposed to put them in the tumble dryer or was that a mistake?
