Send DH to bed a half hour early to warm up the bed for you ;)<br /> ETA: I'd suggest taking a soft knit beanie or buying one there.

Keeps you warm, can be worn as nightclothes if needed, or as an underlayer under your day clothes, very thin and lightweight and packs down to almost nothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-post-prompted-a#post-1262907 Wed, 28 May 2014 07:15:30 +0000 T 1262907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Warm Socks for sure.

I'm in the Midlands in the UK so not a huge way from Ireland and the thought of thermals layered with flannel PJs and a hat in October is making me sweat! and I run cold. October can still be quite warm here in the UK, I usually don't put my winter duvet on till the end of November, though my winter pjs may have made an appearance if it's particularly cold. My winter pjs consist of thin jersey yoga pants and a thin long sleeve t and of course socks but only regular weight socks not thick ones. That said I guess if you're used to say desert temperatures (sorry I don't know where you're based) then yes you'll need lots of layers and a hat x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-post-prompted-a#post-1262247 Tue, 27 May 2014 18:24:00 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1262247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful suggestions.. yes, yes, yes to a hat for sure! &nbsp;<br />I like the idea of layering options.. When experiencing the hot flashes last Fall I bought wicking workout pants and tops... Perhaps a set ot those under the flannels will do the trick...Warm socks a must...&nbsp;<br />My husband has such fond memories of his father putting hot water bottles in his bed nightly as a child.. Fahter grew up in Ireland , but came to Boston as and adult&nbsp;where hubby was born.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-post-prompted-a#post-1262235 Tue, 27 May 2014 18:00:17 +0000 rabbit 1262235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>warm socks, flannel pjs, and possibly thin silk long underwear (also great to wear under skirts or trousers). &nbsp; &nbsp;Also I second bringing a wool beanie, to wear into bed on cold nights, or just walking around outside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-post-prompted-a#post-1262230 Tue, 27 May 2014 17:45:52 +0000 Carla 1262230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding the flannel pj's and socks. I got into the habit of taking a warm bath at night, and then jumped right into bed. (Been to UK and Ireland month of April and month of September.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-post-prompted-a#post-1262227 Tue, 27 May 2014 17:43:13 +0000 Angela K 1262227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that although I am cold natured the hot flashes take priority.&nbsp; In the past I've always slept in flannel, but now I find that only the thinnest cotton (even on the coldest nigh will do.)&nbsp; I usually wear sweats right up to bed time then change quickly into the thin cotton PJs.&nbsp; Then jump in bed, and snuggle down.&nbsp; It doesn't take long to warm up (especially if a flash hits!)&nbsp; Then the next morning, I jump up, quickly put on my sweats and hoodie and I'm ready to go! Hope this helps.&nbsp; Flashes are no fun!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-post-prompted-a#post-1262224 Tue, 27 May 2014 17:39:56 +0000 Anonymous 1262224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Houses aren't insulated as well, and the air tends to be damp. Definitely socks for bed, and a hot water bottle or rice bag you can heat in the microwave. Getting into a clammy cold bed is torture. Oh, and even a hat or nightcap will help too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-post-prompted-a#post-1262204 Tue, 27 May 2014 17:22:40 +0000 JAileen 1262204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would bring socks for bed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-post-prompted-a#post-1262198 Tue, 27 May 2014 17:14:34 +0000 Diana 1262198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Layers!&nbsp; I would personally bring a flannel PJs set with a tank to either go under the top for extra warmth or to wear by itself if you're hot.&nbsp; </p> <p>A long cardi or similar can also do double duty as a coverup for the plane and to sleep in.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-post-prompted-a#post-1262196 Tue, 27 May 2014 17:11:50 +0000 LoriFLA 1262196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about cuddl duds or silk blend long underwear?

Note, I can't stand cold and keep my house at 72 degrees in wiinter... And what if by some chance I am having the dreaded hot flashes of menopause going on during that time??? &nbsp;I've only had one bout so far that went away, so who knows? &nbsp;I am planning for everything!<br />So what's a woman to wear for bed in those circumstances????<br />Suggestions anyone????</p>
