Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez, a couple known from Strictly Come Dancing, have experienced a common domestic dispute over bedroom temperature. Gorka, accustomed to cooler sleeping conditions, found the rising heat from Gemma's 'biohacks' disruptive. These practices include using a sauna blanket and red light therapy, which can significantly increase the room's temperature.
During a podcast discussion, Gorka detailed how Gemma's routines, involving red light blankets and helmets, not only generated heat but also created a bright environment. He expressed discomfort sleeping in such conditions, preferring a temperature between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius, while Gemma's methods pushed it to 26 degrees Celsius.
To find a solution, Gemma proposed that she would conduct her biohacking sessions in a separate room before returning to bed. This agreement was sealed with a handshake, ensuring both partners could achieve a better night's sleep and maintaining harmony in their household.
