But then the monsters might eat my foot!
Really though: I have a visceral aversion to having my feet exposed like that. If I’m lying down or even sitting on the couch, my feet must be covered. I could have no other blankets, except on my feet.
I have that problem with my butt. Can be 10 billion degrees and sweaty af and I have to have a blanket over my butt, even if I have shorts on.
I don’t have that problem any time except sleeping, though.
Yeah, you have a different issue.
Nah, it’s that I would love to be able to use it as a radiator like you suggested, but I have a sensory problem with exposing my feet like that. It’s really annoying actually, because I have some chronic conditions that make me more heat sensitive now, and even though I know it would help a ton, I still can’t stand the feeling of my feet being exposed.
So, same problem, but sadly can’t use your solution.
Idk how much it would help you, but if you can source some fairly common stuff and do some mild DIY, you can make a cold pack/pad that “freezes” at room temp and lasts a super long time. It isn’t cold, more like cool water that stays cool. You could even make socks out of it, if you want. They would be weird and squishy and probably trigger some sort of sensory thing, but you COULD :p
