It’s a familiar, if uncomfortable, little shiver that creeps up your fingers or toes even under a warm duvet in the middle of fall. Should you be worried? Is it just a physical oddity, or a warning sign? Spoiler: Both are conceivable. But the good news is that there are simple ways to stay warm and, more significantly, to understand what your body is telling you.
When cold extremities are totally normal.
There’s no reason to be concerned if your feet freeze to ice crystals when you step outside in 5°C weather or if you spend the evening on the couch without moving. It’s a natural reaction: the body protects its important organs by decreasing blood flow to “lower priority” locations. What was the result? Your extremities suffer a little. When you’re nice and warm, everything usually returns to normal.
6 Surprising Reasons Your Feet Get Cold.
Lack of sleep.
When you sleep poorly, everything in your body slows down, including your circulation. Even in mid-May, you may experience fatigue and coldness.
