What Causes Neck And Feet To Be Cold During Night?
Hi, my father is 83 and complains that at night his feet get very cold. This is despite wearing two pairs of socks and having many blankets piled over his feet. He now insists there is a draft blowing through the mattress to make his feet cold. He also reports his neck is getting cold. Any solutions?
