Re: Bed Socks
Like some of the other ladies I'm a martyr to the blimmin' hot flushes, been going on for years and no signs of stopping.I do have an electric blanket but I rarely use it, I also sometimes wear socks in bed but when one of those melting moments arrive it's like being in the Sahara at midday. I sometimes go and stand on the tiles in the bathroom in bare feet and splash cold water on my face.
Advantage is it saves on heating bills, people complain that the house is cold but I find that keeping myself a bit on the chilly side does help with the frequency of the HF's.

Re: Bed Socks
When night time temperatures get down into single figures I drag out my bed socks. My ex employer used to supply us with 6 pairs of thick woollen knee high socks each year (fire proof and heat resistant) so when I retired I had heaps of them.I have cut a few pairs down to shin height and wear them in the depths of winter, because I use a doona my feet sometimes stick out the bottom of the bed but wearing these I never have trouble sleeping.
Absolutely hate electric blankets that all over warmth is really horrible. When I go to stay with my daughter in Canberra (and it does get cold there) I take a hot water bottle with me as well as my socks.

Re: Bed Socks
Alice, for me it's been 11 years this month and counting. My mum suffered most of her life, I believe, or for a long long time.I put a blanket on when it's cold but you can bet your life just as I'm ready to jump into bed I get a hottun! Have to switch off blanket and wait till I've cooled down. Grrrr.
