Ummm.. I put my heating pad at the highest setting possible. The
lowest setting is barely warm enough to feel warmth.
I've been doing this for over 10 years... ever since I discovered
that the heating pad is nearly as good as an electric blanket, and a
lot more portable.
My idea of bliss is being sandwiched between a heated mattress cover
and an electric blanket. I gave up on that since the blankets wear
out too fast. None of them lasted a year with me. Also, it's alot
easier to carry just a heating pad when sleeping over somewhere,
instead of a big blanket. So nowadays, I satisfy myself with just the
electric heating pad.
I do understand what you're saying about becoming overheated, but I
can push the bedcovers off of me once I'm fully warmed up.
It sure beats shivering a couple of hours in bed waiting for sleep.

Sounds great, WIN. I also hope that the low temp doesn't exceed 95 degrees.
You don't need to have any organs overheating.... and shutting down.
Consider that your normal body temp is around 99 degrees. Go up by 5 degrees
and you are both sick and a candidate for the other side.
If your body temp drops 5 degrees, you can still survive for a very long time.
During the summer, it comes more obvious. People dying from being overheated
and watching the Med Techs trying to cool the body down to prevent the organs
from shutting down. Its not a very pretty sight.
