That's awesome. I had no idea how fast blood moved but that's pretty incredible.
I mean, I know how powerful it was based off of things like how far blood squirts out of an artery/vein when cut but didn't have an actual speed to comprehend it at.

Makes sense, especially because if you were to lift your leg at all, the blanket rising would create a vaccuum that sucks in colder air.

Kind of but more of a physical feeling in other parts of the body like the other leg or torso being cooler as opposed to a psychological feeling of being less thirsty.

So would it be pretty much anywhere that has blood vessels close to the skin? Pretty much anywhere that doesnt have much fat/muscle underneath the skin?

Sorry, I should've been more descriptive. I meant an instantaneous change in parts under the blanket still. Not the foot out of the sheet.
I'm pretty dumb but I'm not THAT dumb lol.

Sometimes the transfer of heat almost seems instantaneous, is that really how fast the blood travels through the body on a regular basis?
