This is exactly my view on the situation. To me, it's not the actual "I'm too hot" or "I'm too cold" that makes the difference... it's when you are able to return to a comfortable temperature. Warming up from being cold just feels great... but coming in from the heat and humidity and cooling off, you're still sweaty and disgusting.
I grew up in the Midwest, but I lived in Florida for about a year and I hated every minute of it. Christmas just did not seem like Christmas without coldness and snow, and the summers were pretty unbearable to me because I would get exhausted very quickly when outside and, like kurty, I cannot sleep when I am too hot.
One thing that I find interesting is that after I moved back, I seem to be MORE tolerant to cold temperatures than I used to be. I expected I'd be more sensitive to them after getting used to a warmer climate, but now I find that I require less bundling and less blankets to keep me comfortable.
