Lovely and Talented Wife: I'm freezing.

Me: Put on a sweater.

Wife: I slept in socks, flannels, a tank top, a thermal shirt and five blankets and I was still cold.

Me: You slept so well because I have the thermostat set low.

Wife: No, I did not sleep well. I was still cold. Wait, what's it set to?

Me: At 10pm it goes into Hibernation Stage 2.

Wife: And what does that mean?

Me: 60 degrees. Just make sure you're asleep before 10 because then the temp drops precipitously. Didn't you notice the heater isn't coming on at night? We're sleeping for free!

Wife: Yes I noticed! I was freezing!

Me: The cold helps you sleep by shutting down non-vital bodily functions.

Wife: Being in a coma is not restful.
