Why does this work tho? 😂

XTornado,

The only thing I can provide is that heat dissipates faster through extremities so the feet out would help not overheat… I guess… And a way to regulate your temperature under the sheets. Apart from that no idea.

Sounds reasonable. Although surely more is getting dissipated through your head, given the amount of blood flow. But maybe that little extra from a foot helps get that perfect temp without getting too cold!

From table 5 it looks like legs are very bad at heat dissipation in proportion to their surface area, the head and neck are where it’s at, then torso, then arms, then legs.
