Is it bad to create a lot of heat while you sleep?


My boyfriend finds that he tosses and turns when he sleeps in the same bed as me because I create too much heat while I sleep. I'm kind of petite, so most of the time during the daytime, I'm cold... or at least cool. But once I fall asleep, apparently I generate so much heat he wakes up, or has to leave the room. It's not like he's sensitive, a lot of my friends have said the same thing. I'm taking it this isn't normal... but besides the fact that I'm too hot to handle, is it really that bad? Should I be worried?

The only real downside of it is I find whenever I wake up, I have headaches. I know for a fact I have bruxism, but I have braces so I can't really get a mouth guard... does that have anything to do with it?

You should go to your doctor to see if this is something to be concerned about since so many people have told you about this condition. It doesn't sound good that you wake up with headaches. In the meantime, I have heard of special blankets or bed covers that are made with one side light and the other side heavy to compensate for couples with different temperature preferences.
