It's common sense. Hot air rises, leaving cold air at the bottom. So if you're hot, leave your legs uncovered so the cold air can come in. If you're cold, cover yourself up; trapping the hot air with you. To get, "just right", cover one foot (where cold enters the body) and you cut off half the flow.

are you a wizard?

Sort of got the idea right. Makes more sense your way if you sleep standing. First parts of your body to lose body heat are head, hands, and feet. Since feet are furthest from your torso (most heat), then they are most likely to be coldest. Cover one foot and for some reason it's just enough warmth kept to balance the body.

It works exactly how it looks like.

Because feet are one of the most heat sensitive parts of your body. If you're feeling cold, put of a pair of socks. Same with testing the temperature of a swimming pool with your foot before getting in. Use your hand instead, because it will feel colder to your foot that the rest of your body.

It takes more effort to heat up your lower limbs/feet than the rest of the body. So sticking them out or covering them up makes more of a difference than other parts of the body (fnar)

There are hot spot in your body, places where you get the most blood flow. This includes your head, arm pits,hands, genitals and feet. If you want to cool your body down quickly, cover one of these spots with an ice pack. Same way with keeping warm but with a blanket or hot pad. Your chest is the biggest hot spot however. That's why you can wear shorts and a hoody and still be warm as hell.

I have a gel ice pack I keep in my freezer for the summer months to help cool down with out turning on the ac. I place it on my head and in no time I am cooled off enough to go to sleep.

it's your right brain hemisphere wanting to feel comfortable TIL I don't really know what I'm talking about

[–]shoziku 0 points1 point ago

Your body heat is lost the most through your head, hands and feet. Covering the foot retains just enough heat to keep you comfortable. when I get too hot I keep mostly covered and snuggly but put one leg out over the blankets. this allows me to release the extra heat that would normally make the covered portion sweat.

It works like magnets.

Because a huge amount of the cold/heat comes through our hands or our feet, which means you can be very warm by just covering your hands and feet with blankets.
