Foo - Hats in bed

This ain't about what you think. I remember as a little kid my dad wearing a stocking cap to bed in the winter. I thought it was dumb. Well, last night I woke up and my head was cold. Had to wrap the comforter around my noggin. Tonight I think I'll wear a hat. Do other people wear hats to bed, or does this make me into a pervert or something?

If you have to ask...........................

It's a bit weird I'm afraid.

Not weird. I wear a hoodie with the hood on my head frequently. UA sleeps with the window open (all year long) and it can get pretty cold at night. If it keeps you comfortable, wear it.

For winter camping...yes, a hat.

It's not weird at all Laura Ingalls did it all the time back on the prairie.

If it's needed to keep you warm it's fine.

If you wear it to be "cool", it's not.

For winter camping...yes, a hat.

Hell yeah - winter camping demands it - I have even had thermal socks over my hands as I slept all nice and cozy!!

Today we have insulation and good heating systems for houses. You shouldn't worry about cold heads. Now if you were camping or staying in a cabin with a fireplace as the only heat source, a hat might be a good idea.

Back when Ms. MillCreek 2.0 was going through menopause and was having her 'power surges', she would open the bedroom window in the middle of winter. I had to wear a wool knit cap on my bald head. So I don't think it is odd at all.

I would never in my wildest dreams wear a hat to bed.

Couch

I've done it, sometimes I just can't stay warm unless I do. Also, you can save money by turning down the heat, and throwing on an extra blankie.

Yeah - winter camping - it's awesome - sometimes just the nose having room to have clearance!!!!

simply putting on this sleeping hat could be enough to allow one to lower the temperature in a house a degree or two. This would save valuable energy. Just saying... just because we have the luxury of heat doesn't mean we shouldn't conserve a bit.

Every time I wear a hat to bed, I wake up and it's gone.

Dang evil cat. :notamused:

Ohhhhh, you guys are talking about touques. You see, in Canada a hat comes with a brim. A touque is sleep friendly ... although still weird. I prefer to go au-naturel.

I haven't worn a stitch of anything to bed since I was 12 years old, so a hat would be really weird!

Hat for the newborn, though, but that is a totally different situation, of course.

Thought about it, but haven't. Then again, I keep the house at 55F at night http://twctoday.com/forums/Smileys/1/smiley-cold.gif

at least wear it backwards..... you know, for street cred.

Central heating means that you don't need a hat...

For winter camping...yes, a hat.


Right that's the only time I've been that cold when trying to sleep.

UA sleeps with the window open (all year long) and it can get pretty cold at night. If it keeps you comfortable, wear it.
damn, have you thought of building him a little sleep house outside?

I do when I'm getting a cold or suffering through one.

We keep our bedroom frigid. It makes for good sleeping, but my head does get cold.

I wear a fleece hat on the cold nights. It stays on my bedside table.

Speaking of old-timey sleeping accoutrements, I bought a hot water bottle a while back. It's wonderful to fill one with hot water and throw it under the covers twenty minutes or so before going to bed. You don't get that initial chill when you first get into bed. It's already warm!

And if they leak, it is like a trip down memory lane.

I like that initial chill. Of course, I also like to sleep with the window open. Colder the better, in my opinion. <3 2 Ride won't let the room get as cold as I'd like it.

It's perfect when I can see my breath. :D

<3 2 Ride is already sleeping in fleece pajamas with a hood on under a doubled over down comforter, a doubled over wool blanket and another quilt. As soon as you let me buy an electric blanket for the bed, you can let it get colder in the room. :p

Its completely normal. Why do you think cowboy hats are turned up on the sides?

Wait, actually, thats so you can fit three Texans in a pickup... nevermind.

You don't need an electric blanket. Just get a good down comforter.

Climbing into a cold be is like jumping into a freezing swimming pool.

I use my electric blanket to warm my bed before I get in, then I turn it off. It's too hot to have it on all night.

Does the hat have a pom-pom? It MUST have a pom-pom or the hat won't be warm enough.

I would never in my wildest dreams wear a hat to bed.

There are a lot of things I avoid in my wildest dreams, but do in real life.

Tax returns come to mind, as do pants.

If you wear a hat to bed, you would wake up with bed head & hat head!

Y'all hush now, ya hear. We ain't played cowboys and canadians, yet.

Good lord. I am having that happen with Mrs. Gitarzan now. 10 degrees F out and she shuts down the heater vent and opens the window. I'm not wearing a hat at night (yet) but I am sleeping with an extra comforter doubled up over me.

When I did the Arctic Survival School in Alaska, the instructors gave us a percentage of heat loss through the head. Can't remember the number but I do remember it was a lot. Therefore, you can stay much warmer with the small addition of a head covering of some sort. Covering up your head with the blankets (or sleeping bag as the case may be) introduces moisture from breathing into your bed and could result in a chillier and more uncomfortable situation.

My wife also sleeps with the window open all winter. I haven't worn a hat, but occasionally had to devise something to stop the wind blowing on my head. I don't have a problem with the cold though - I normally wake up with the pillow wet from sweat anyway.
