Clone your thermostat and sell them; you'll make a fortune!

  Hi Diane,
  Normally this is after hiking for the day and then I eat and go to bed. 
  Sometimes when I have been backpacking during the winter with snow I am 
  too tired to eat so I just go to bed. But I am still freezing until I go 
  to sleep. Once asleep I'm fine. In the morning I am one of the only 
  people I know that loves to get up with only a light jacket when it's 
  snowing. :)  I think my thermostat is broken!

  You are probably right though that day-in-dayout hiking will probably 
  keep my metabolism more constant and the problem might fix itself a 
  couple months into a thru hike.

  Thanks for your thoughts.
