We all know how good it feels to sleep in a warm quilt in the winter season. But have you ever wondered why it is so difficult to get out of the quilt in the cold season? And why does our mind not allow us to get out of the quilt in the cold season? After all, what is it that makes us feel so comfortable in the warmth of the quilt and prevents us from going out in the cold weather? Let us know the answer to this question today.
Why are we unable to get out of the quilt easily in the cold season?
Our body temperature is around 37 degrees Celsius. There is a complex mechanism inside the body called thermoregulation. This mechanism works to keep our body temperature constant. When the outside temperature is low, our body takes many measures to save its heat. For example, when the outside temperature is low, the blood vessels of the body contract, due to which the heat remains inside the body.
When we feel cold, we get goosebumps on our body. This happens so that a layer of air is formed around the body which prevents the body heat from going out. Apart from this, when the temperature is very low, the body starts vibrating. This is a process by which the body produces heat.
Why does a quilt feel good in cold weather?
A quilt is a kind of insulator. It keeps our body warm by preventing the heat from emanating from the body. When we sleep in a quilt, our body is at a comfortable temperature. The temperature inside the quilt is almost equal to our body temperature. When we get out of the quilt, we feel cold. This happens because the temperature outside is much lower than our body temperature. Due to this temperature difference, our body starts losing heat and we feel cold. Apart from this, there is also a psychological reason for the difficulty in getting out of the quilt in cold weather. When we sleep in a warm quilt, we get a lot of comfort and we become lazy. In this situation, we want to stay under the quilt to keep ourselves warm.
