I know the dilemma of only being able to sleep in darkness and quiet, I feel the same. For us, it's like this: we sleep in the attic and the bedroom is the only room on that floor, so we heat very little up there and in winter it's perfect for sleeping. Dark, quiet, cool (until summer comes and you have to open the windows because of the tropical heat, then of course you hear the surroundings again... terrible). I think in your case only a thinner blanket will help. Opening the window is not an option for you (and makes no ecological sense if you heat the rooms next door), for me air conditioning would also be out of the question because of the environment. And give yourself 1-2 more winters to get used to it.
Thanks! It's reassuring to know that I'm not alone with this :) The attic studio would also be an option for us, but I actually don't want to "escape" from the nicely furnished bedroom. Then I might as well go to the basement, it's cool there too :cool: I also believe you just have to get used to it. But out of habit that was somehow an advantage of a poorly insulated rental apartment, at least for the bedroom ;)
Down comforter, terry cloth covers, thick pajamas, etc. you can already get rid of.
Hehe, I think so too. If I don’t need them in the next few days with double-digit subzero temperatures, everything goes out.
