I have an electric blanket, and I swear that it’s changed the way I sleep. No more bundled up beneath several blankets and sheets. No more sleeping in sweaters, long pants, and two pairs of socks. I can sleep how I want, for as long as I want, so long as I set the dial to the right number to keep me toasty warm. When my blanket is on, it stays on for a few hours, and once I’m asleep, presumably it turns itself off.
In the days previous to the invention of the non-scalding electric blanket, people used water bottles. Basically, you fill up a rubber bladder with scalding hot water, put it in your bed at your feet, and hoped it didn’t leak and burn you. Thank goodness for the microwavable heated teddy bear from GadgetShop. You can heat him up when you need warmth in the summer, freeze him down when you need coolness in the summer, and cuddle him when you need someone to love on those lonely nights.
He’s as much fun as a real bear, and you don’t have to worry about him ever eating your face!
