    Well, fat is insulant, so it helps to keep the heat energy inside the body. Fat, therefore, also provides some protection against cold. On the other hand, if you live in areas with higher ambient temperature, it is more comfortable to be able to exhaust that heat, instead of storing it.

    So, yes, it is a feature?

      I meant small women, not fat ones. The original comment was “my tiny girlfriend”.

        And I meant, that as fat has insulating properties, the lack of fat, ergo “tiny body” does not have insulating properties. Thus, a tiny body exhausts more heat, and therefore 1) feel cold more easily and 2) heats the surrounding area.

        So yes, tiny bodytype tends to exhaust heat under a blanket.

          Gotcha. My experience indicates you’re right! It’s like sleeping with a space heater.
