Let’s be real — summer is blazing hot outside, but inside the office? It feels like a meat locker. And while we all have different comfort levels (spoiler: no single temperature works for everyone), many of us end up wearing hoodies or wrapping ourselves in blankets just to get through the day.

🧊 One temperature doesn’t fit all

We each run at a different internal thermostat. What feels like a pleasant 72°F to one person might feel like the Arctic to another. That’s why you see some coworkers in sleeveless tops and others buried under a fleece.

👩💼 Women feel the chill more — here’s the science

Dr. Devi Nampiaparampil from NYU Langone Medical Center explains that women typically have a lower metabolic rate, meaning they burn energy more slowly. Translation? They generate less body heat than men. So yeah, they’re basically more likely to turn into human popsicles at work. 🧊 That’s why a shawl or a cozy blanket isn’t just a luxury — it’s a necessity.

⚠️ It’s Not Just Uncomfortable — It’s a Health Thing

📉 Cold office = slower metabolism?

According to Professor Kenneth McLeod from SUNY, working in a chilly office can actually slow down your metabolism. That doesn’t just make weight management harder — it’s also linked to lower immunity, heart issues, and a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. Yikes.

The good news? Throwing on an extra layer or grabbing a blanket is an easy way to help your body stay warm and healthy.
