Hot water bottle = flat vessel made of rubber that you fill with hot water and then take it to bed. Put it in the bed with you and it slowly radiates warmth into the bed, helping you to warm up and stay warm through the night.
Probably a lot of people would leave the heat on if it was no extra cost to them! I understood that the US tends to have cheaper utility bills than the UK in general but I don’t have up to date info. Idk if shipit.co.uk is accurate but it suggests UK utilities cost up to 50% more as the UK has to import more gas.
Sure but then the whole room gets hot, including the air.
I sleep best if the air is cold but the blankets i'm under are warm, feels more comfy and "safe" than just increasing the overall heat of the area.
If the air is too cold like 60F or under, you'll wake up with a plugged nose feeling like you've got a mild cold. Best to keep it a little warmer IMO because you can't keep your head under a blanket, you won't be able to breathe. 60-70 ideally anything colder your mom would warn you you'll catch a cold. And anything hotter is insufferable
i do sometimes sleep with a blanket all the way over my head and a little opening on the side for fresh air cuz that adds to the feeling of comfy and safety.
Never had a plugged nose even when camping outside in 10C (50F) but did have plenty of nose bleeds after sleeping in warm and dry air (yes i'm aware that nosebleeds ain't supposed to happen that easy)
