What is a good strategy for regulating the temperature for me and my wife at night?

Every night when i go to sleep, my wife is bundled up in thick pajamas under several thick blankets shivering with her extremities ice cold while i am laying next to her naked with a very thin blanket and the overhead fan on, but comfortable.

If i turn off the overhead fan, i get really hot and can't sleep, but she is comfortable enough to sleep. Electric blankets and heat pads make her too hot.

What else can we do to make it so that she keeps warm without making me too hot at night?

Update:

We have both been to the doctor. Her blood is a little thin, but nothing serious. Both our bloodwork other than that are normal.

    I am unusually hot as well and i will tell you what works for me......

    A stand alone fan on a stand set up about half way along your side of the bed. Turn it on(about middle strength works for me) and aim it towards the end of your bed (Away from your wife and your heads) blowing over your feet. You regulate the hot/cold situation for yourself by putting your feet under the sheets or out getting the cool breeze......YOUR wife will feel nothing and you won't catch a cold from wind blowing on your face......

    This really works

    Sleep well

    My boyfriend is always hot too while I'm the opposite so just use each other to maintain homoeostasis. If cuddling doesn't help her at all, ask her to go and see a doctor. It could have something to do with her iron levels .

    A temperature adjustable bed will keep her wanted temperature.

    Then you can use airconditioner to cool the room.

    Then both of you can sleep in good condition.

    If you cannot get single beds then buy single thermal heat pads which can be put on her side.

    She may have thin blood, so might be worth checking it out.

    She needs to see a doctor. She should also have her thyroid, blood sugar, and iron levels checked

    Unless you are engaging in hyperbole, one or both of you need to see a doctor.
