Do you know the suggested cold weather thermostat setting? PLEASE consider setting the thermostat to the recommended temperatures to save energy and money.
- 68 degrees while you are awake
- Lower while you are away or asleep
To compensate for cooler temperature, consider changing behaviors. Dress in layers. Identify areas that need extra attention. For me, my hands get cold easily. Here is one of my solutions. Arm warmers! They have two layers: (1) Cotton liner and (2) Wool exterior glove.

| Wool/cotton arm warmers that I purchased |
I purchased these arm warmers. My colleague Adriana Petrova also has arm warmers that she created by cutting the toes off of socks. She also wears thick headbands around her neck, instead of a scarf. This way, she can work around the house and stay warm without a scarf getting in the way!

| Adriana's repurposed sock arm warmers |
Adriana is very creative! She keeps her socks on her arms and her headbands around her neck.
BTW: A good book and a cup of coffee works wonders, as well.
