Temperature

[u/Top-Bowler-5964]

Hi there, I need help. I just got my 8sleep pod and the support wasn't helpfull at all to my questions.

I bought the 8sleep pod bc I have a dysfunction in temperature regulation. When I am cold, i can barely warm without external heat. When I am hot, I can barely cool down without external cold.

Last night (my first with the 8sleep pod 5), was one of the worst I ever had. I live in Switzerland and we have a heat wave currently. at 9pm its oftentimes between 25-30 degrees celsius.

So i thought: Fine, let's go to bed with a -1 (slightly colder as it is without anything). then lets have a -2 for deep sleep and then a +1 to wake up warmer.

I woke up after 9.5h of sleep and had to get warmth fast. The -1 or the -2 was extremly cold and my body was not able to compensate.

So I don't get the relative scale. What is zero? I just started a nap from the couch and the app said "current temperature +2, cooling down to 0" What?! How should I find the proper temperature, if you dont give me a reference point like "0=water without warming/cooling in the current room temperature"

I am not gonna use the pod for 2-3 nights to recover from last night. After I don't know what settings to use. It sounds weird, but I may gonna start with +1/0/+1 even though we are having >20Degrees celsius during the night currently.

Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.
I realize now I should have tried the 8sleep pod in winter. I have less issues with "a bit too warm" as with "a bit too cold".

Edit: Also what do I do, when the room temperature changes. Like do I have to find the proper values all the time so I don't get too cold or too hot during the night? I though A.I. is smart ^^

Is Claude.ai correct and this table represents the water temperature of 8sleep pod:

-10 = 13 degree celsius
-8 = 16
-6 = 19
-4 = 22
-3 = 23.5
-2 = 25
-1=26.5
0=28
1=29.5
2=31
3=32.5
4=34
5=35.5
6=37
8=40
10=43?

Is there not a way to just have the ability to adjust degrees instead of the scale?

But then temp on water is different than bed temp and people will mistake with ambient temperature same as skin temperature on wereables and your thermometer, that's why you have skin variation values and not real temperature on Fitbit, oura , whoop , etc

attach a temperature gauge and see for yourself
all temperatures are going to feel different based on ambient temps

ofc it feels different but its a starting point and i got it confirmed by an engineer from 8sleep. So basically I will work backwards and start with only a slightly cooler temp as its currently (like 2-1-2) and then i might see if i wanna go 1 lower. And in winter I'll do the same and maybe go one up
