But if you turn it off completely, then it doesn't keep you warm on a cold winter night! (unless you pile on enough blankets that you feel smothered). |
|

It also doesn't help if you want to get in bed as soon as you come in from the cold. (And my wife usually falls asleep within moments of getting under the electric blanket). |

Finally, the main point was the adaptive nature of the whole thing. If you get up during the night to go to the bathroom (which is chilly at night!), the blanket will increase its temperature briefly when you come back to bed to compensate for your slight drop in body temperature. |

Adaptive nature indeed. I'm surprised this doesn't exist yet 'cause it's the small things (e.g. nightime bathroom use) that prevent current electric blankets from being the coolest invention next to the Sonicare toothbrush. |
