| Comment | Also, I say all this because if you are unable to get the ambient temperature sorted due to draughty old tenement building you are going to need to figure out how to keep yourself warm.
If your core body temperature drops too much you start affecting your ability to go about day to day shit. Our boiler went full stop one week a few years ago, and we were 3 weeks without heating during a snow storm. My flatmates at the time bought portable heaters but I refused bc cost of electricity running them and spent three weeks under my duvet in multiple layers. Even in the duvet it was Cold. My flatmate intervened and brought the heater into my room. Suddenly, after an hour, I could move and feel the pain and cold I'd been steadfastly ignoring. Be careful not to "get used to it" to the point of lower mobility/lower cognition (my speed at doing things suffered), and be sure to utilise any heat making mechanisms you can to keep your body itself warm. |
