Yes, I use my nose as a thermometer. If the temperature goes down my nose will tell me. I'm currently in bed, I'm nice and warm but my nose is very cold.

I have Raynauds, diagnosed in my early 20’s so my nose is often cold, including in bed at night when my hands are too if they’re outside the covers. About 25deg I’m ok.

Sounds like you all may have Raynauds!

Me too crazy

My feet are always cold - I’ve got socks on 24/7

My hands, nose and toes are often very cold. Even on warm days. I wonder if it’s circulation given they are the extremities

I have Raynauds in my hands and feet…..my daughter has it on/in her nose. Her nose is always bright red and gets very very cold. I didn’t even realise that was possible!

I have this often during the day as well as at night. Sometimes my nose feels so cold it’s painful. No idea why. Does anyone know?

My nose is just really snuffly at night!!

Shinamae I’ve noticed that during the night. I suppose it’s the extremity of our body that’s not undercover and is exposed to the cooler air overnight.

I’m not going to worry about my cold snout unless I find myself with a wagging tail to go with it 🐶

I've noticed this too Shinamae.
If you cup your hand round it your palm freezes. 😂
Perhaps this 😷 might help.

Dogs noses are cold when they are healthy. grin

Yes I've had a cold nose while sleeping in the winter but
now its a bit warmer so is the nose.

I’m currently sitting in my nice warm sitting room and my nose is frozen!
I’ve never noticed before.

I have the covers over my head winter and summer 🤣

Does anybody else wake up in the middle of the night and find their nose is freezing cold?
A few weeks ago, I touched my nose for some reason and realised this and now I do it every night when I wake up to go to the loo and my nose is always freezing. It just seems very odd. It’s not just cold it feels freezing! 🥶🥶🥶
