Biohacking Tip: #6: Cold Exposure

Cold Exposure is one of the many great Biohacks that I have been experimenting for years. It is a great method of acclimating your body to the cold weather which refreshes your blood circulation.

I remember when I was in high school, I took psychology class and that class was ALWAYS at least 10 degrees colder than all the other classes! Finally a student asked the psychology teacher why his class was always so cold!! The teacher laughed and said he was doing it on purpose because cold temperature keeps the brain AWAKE AND ALERT. I never forgot what he said and noticed that I feel more productive in cold climate/temperature. I love it!

My daughter was leaving her window wide open and turned off all the heat, with her bed close to the window. She slept with no blanket, a hat and socks. It's deadly freezing. Never close the window all through the winter. It felt like living outside being homeless even on the coldest winter days and nite no heat and windows open she sits in front of the window all through the winter. Is that bad or good for her health? I thought she was trying to kill herself. I couldn't take the cold but she wouldn't let me in her room to close the window and she broke the heat. What do you think about it.

Hard to tell. Did you ask her? It might be just that she does not like the room too warm. Maybe you keep the heat up. Are there any other signs that are bothering you other than liking the cold? you should be able to spot other signs if something is wrong. Like changes in her demeanor, her not liking to socialize or talk, nightmares, crying, changes in school behavior and grades. Any of that happening? I wish you and your daughter well.
