  I&apos;m from Finland, and it gets really cold in the winter. Our houses are well insulated, but I’d suggest considering merino wool socks or pants, they&apos;re amazing during the colder months. We also use Finnish hand-knitted wool socks, preferably the ones our grandmas make :D Not sure if Japanese grandmas make something similar... One more tip: the moment you feel cold, try to warm yourself up right away, because if you let the cold get to you, it’ll be much harder to get warm again.

  You know, I&apos;ve heard over and over about how nice and service-oriented the Japanese are, but actually catching a video where they are just doing their daily job and seeing that they are truly very caring and respectful puts it all in a new light. Way to Shine!!!

  I&apos;m from an Alpine country and I spend a lot of time outdoors in the cold. The best tip I have is very simple... Always wear a warm, woolen hat. Even indoors or in bed. You lose a lot of body heat through the head. 🤔

  I have a heated bed for my cat. It’s pressure sensitive so it only warms up when she&apos;s in it. She loves it.

  I was born and raised in Alaska, these are all great tips. Hot water bottles are another good thing to use, especially in bed or when sitting on the couch. I also like the rice bags that you can microwave, and they double nicely for any pain that needs heat.<br>Don&apos;t wait to warm up, it&apos;ll be more difficult if you get too cold. And the only other thing I can really think of to add currently is to wear loose cotton breathable pajamas. If your skin can&apos;t breathe while encased in synthetic materials, you&apos;re more likely to perspire which will make you damp, and as sweat rapidly cools you&apos;ll find yourself getting very cold.<br><br>And the benefits of sleeping cooler are, cooler temperatures help you acquire deeper sleep, sleep faster, increase the quality of REM sleep, lowers the risk of metabolic diseases like diabetes, and regulates melatonin levels to be more ideal.

  Get a small kitchen towel wet, ring the water out and put it under your cutting board. It&apos;ll prevent it from sliding around and possibly cutting yourself.

  In the UK (and this is a bit outdated but some homes still do it), we hang &quot;heavy&quot; curtains on our doors and windows. These days you can get thermal curtains and attach weights to the bottom hem. Stops the draughts. Combine the curtains with a draught pillow that sits against the width of your doors and you&apos;ll soon have a toasty room.

  I feel like I’m living in luxury in a German new build apartment with triple glazing and air source heat pump with floor heating. I appreciate it so much.
