New research out of a university in Ireland suggests that we set thermostats in our homes, if we have them, based on how warm or cold we were in the homes we grew up in, as children.
We've probably all been feeling the cold this past week, and women will have been feeling it more than men, apparently.
We might not like being too cold, or too hot for that matter, and at work it seems that both can affect us in ways we mightn't realise.
Dr Thomas Chang is a data scientist and a professor of finance and business as well at the University of Southern California. He set out to study this, and he did so using students in Germany.
