It might seem an odd question but…..

Does anybody else wake up in the middle of the night and find their nose is freezing cold?
A few weeks ago, I touched my nose for some reason and realised this and now I do it every night when I wake up to go to the loo and my nose is always freezing. It just seems very odd. It’s not just cold it feels freezing! 🥶🥶🥶

I have the covers over my head winter and summer 🤣

Georgesgran Sun 14-Apr-24 18:43:48

I’m currently sitting in my nice warm sitting room and my nose is frozen!
I’ve never noticed before.

Yes I've had a cold nose while sleeping in the winter but
now its a bit warmer so is the nose.

Dogs noses are cold when they are healthy. grin

I've noticed this too Shinamae.
If you cup your hand round it your palm freezes. 😂
Perhaps this 😷 might help.

Shinamae I’ve noticed that during the night. I suppose it’s the extremity of our body that’s not undercover and is exposed to the cooler air overnight.

I’m not going to worry about my cold snout unless I find myself with a wagging tail to go with it 🐶

My nose is just really snuffly at night!!

Sparklefizz Sun 14-Apr-24 19:50:14

I have this often during the day as well as at night. Sometimes my nose feels so cold it’s painful. No idea why. Does anyone know?

I have Raynauds in my hands and feet…..my daughter has it on/in her nose. Her nose is always bright red and gets very very cold. I didn’t even realise that was possible!

My hands, nose and toes are often very cold. Even on warm days. I wonder if it’s circulation given they are the extremities

crazyH Sun 14-Apr-24 20:21:35

My feet are always cold - I’ve got socks on 24/7

silverlining48 Sun 14-Apr-24 20:22:02

Me too crazy

midgey Sun 14-Apr-24 20:56:51

Sounds like you all may have Raynauds!

Jaxjacky Sun 14-Apr-24 21:42:33

I have Raynauds, diagnosed in my early 20’s so my nose is often cold, including in bed at night when my hands are too if they’re outside the covers. About 25deg I’m ok.

Marg75 Sun 14-Apr-24 22:15:25

Yes, I use my nose as a thermometer. If the temperature goes down my nose will tell me. I'm currently in bed, I'm nice and warm but my nose is very cold.

Redhead56 Sun 14-Apr-24 23:24:13

Nose feet hands and ears forever cold. Still wearing thermals thick tights and gloves it's ridiculous.

IT would be good if the thread title included what it was about!

if your nose is cold then the room is too cold!

Exactly, put some heating on in your room.

My feet are so cold that they hurt in winter , but are OK if I wear double socks .
If sitting I tend to circle them - unaware that I'm doing it .

BigBertha1 Mon 15-Apr-24 09:20:44

I am a good dog my nose is always cold and if outside running!

harrigran Mon 15-Apr-24 09:33:59

Yes I always wake with a cold nose, only top part of y head sticks above the duvet.

Charly Mon 15-Apr-24 12:32:17

Ah, not alone then! I thought it was just me. However I noticed wearing masks in worst COVID years did bring relief. If a decent nose warmer could be patented I wonder how it could be attached without looking too ridiculous - ie, without elastic around the ears!

pably15 Mon 15-Apr-24 12:34:40

if I have my arms outside the duvet they get cold and my shoulders hurt, I have to cover them up, I 've found that my nose is cold too ,sitting at the moment at my computer, I don't feel cold ,my hands are warm, when I touch my face ..it's cold, I wonder if it's because my hands are warm that my face feels cold when I touch it with warm hands..

Cut the feet off an old pair of socks then you have some ankle warmers over your good socks. Put them on cut end first.
