The only benefit of having a #cold room during the #winter is that if one has comfortably dressed oneself warm, more than likely, one will be able to go outside without any additional layers for a couple of minutes.
A cold room is categorized as a room when one can wear the clothes for outside comfortably inside, e.g. coat, hat, gloves, thick socks, snow pants, etc.

Further supposedly it boosts the sleep quality on average, especially if the temperature range is between 15 - 18 °C.
Though this is only true, if one has warm enough covers to counteract the coolness like a weighted blanket or a sleeping bag.

The best technique to stay warm in a cold room is cocooning while sleeping. This technique consists of creating a cocoon around one’s body and a sleeping bag has this shape prebuilt into its structure.
The downside of going without a sleeping bag is that one is more prone to breaking out during #sleep, since most people shift during slumber.
The setup I follow is: first a sleeping bag, on top of that a crochet merino wool weighted blanket, and finally a cover to entrap the rest of the heat that could have left through the crochet holes.

Though this is all good as long as one doesn’t get claustrophobic in the sleeping. That can then have the opposite effect.
There are two options to deal with this. The obvious one is to not use a sleeping bag. The other option is to use one that is wider and permits more movement.

The benefits of a weighted blanket arise from the benefits of pressure therapy, which has its origins in deep massage therapy. This means that the extra weight of the blanket is a passive method of still raking in the benefits from a deep massage. This might be the optimal solution for individuals who have social anxiety and/or hate being touched.
The irony is that individuals that can benefit the most from pressure therapy is exactly the same crowd that avoids human-to-human interaction the most. These are individuals on the #autism spectrum and/or combating #depression and/or #anxiety.
Through the application of pressure one’s heart rate is reduced thereby putting the individual into a relaxed or recovery state. Once in such a state, #sleep quality can improve, thereby making the initial conditions more manageable.
