RE: A: Why do women prefer warmer temperatures to sleep?
This is a really great answer with excellent research and good level of details.
Thanks for all the hard work.
I'm glad to have some elements of answer to this interesting question.
I was expecting such individual differences for sure. And your example is rather interesting because brother and sister share 50% biology. None of the studies I came across, controlled for genetic background. Also another factor regarding thermal comfort I ignored is how men and women may find comforting temperatures to vary with humidity levels. I wont be surprised if you find this opposite preference to be common pattern based on where you grew up. To be fair, a lot variables in above studies are missing to generalize it. Based on your example alone it will interesting to see if you can find, anything from above explanation that would explain it.
PS:
Also, another point I failed to point before is general surface area for losing heat is on average higher in women.
