| 0:20.4 | Everyone should know that we live in a really cool mid-century modern house. I think they already know that. Everyone has a deck. It's so cool. It's a small house. We love it, but it has zero insulation and zero heating. Zero heating. All these houses originally had like radiant heat in the floors and ours doesn't work. And we have heater problems. so our house is really cold. Most of the year in the summer, we're killing it, but in the winter right now, it's killing us. But guess what? You have been utilizing your doc pro in a different way. What is that? Yeah. So normally for, I would say nine months of the year, I keep it in the low 70s and I sleep beautifully. |
| 0:56.5 | But at this time of year, I've actually been turning it up pretty high before I get into bed, |
| 1:01.5 | like in the 90s so that when I get into bed, when it's so cold, it's super warm. |
| 1:06.8 | And then I program it so it turns down to about 80 degrees, which is what I've been sleeping at over the winter. |
| 1:12.4 | Which is super cool for me because you actually get so mad before we go to bed sometimes. |
| 1:17.4 | Because it's so cold. |
| 1:18.4 | You actually are mad and you kind of shout at me. |
| 1:21.1 | Not anymore because you jump into this really warm. |
| 1:24.1 | The control is remarkable. |
| 1:26.2 | I've even had because our room is so cold and which is not. I slept, grew up in Germany with the window open, sometimes snow would come on my face in the winter. I love that. But I've even had to go up a few degrees. Yeah, it's nice to sleep in a cold room, but there is a limit. We always talk about how hot we sleep, but if you're a cold sleeper, it really makes a difference to be able to modulate the temperature and find your ideal temp. And you can see that. |
