If you are feeling ill, and cold, turning the heat up, can be quite risky, once a long time ago now, I was shivering, so I put on a heavy dressing gown, the house was already warm, I was sat on the loo, and after a few minutes, my wife heard a loud crunch in the bathroom, the next thing I remember was waking up in hospital.
My wife had called 999 as I had passed out, and I was delerious, so don't overdo it.
Luckily, no serious issues were found, and I came home next day.

thanks Rustic, I was quite comfortable and fell asleep warm as toast with no sweating, woke up at 6 am which was good as the Mrs got a better nights sleep without me making the bed a swimming pool, I went to bed and woke at 9, so half decent sleep last night, Rick
