GREAT physics experiment!
Wood is an insulator in part because it is less dense, so once your foot feels the cool, it is being insulated from losing more heat.
The Tile is dense and acts as a "HEAT SINK" it literally draws the heat out of the foot and stores it in the tile.
Too much wax can make the floor feel rather sticky.
In the short answer the terms are heat sink & Insulative value. Densely packed materials, like stone, glass & steel always feel cooler than paper, textiles or wood in the same conditions. Densely packed materials absorb and store heat, if they are at or cooler than your touch, they will seek to absorb that heat difference and store it, and since they are cooler & denser they just keep sucking the heat away & swapping it out for their abundantly and densely stored coolness. Wood on the other hand is much less dense. Wood floats, rock sinks. Wood is mostly air and cellulose, both of which are lighter than water so a log floats. Insulative value, almost all insulation works on a very simple premis, still air doesn't conduct much heat. So since wood is mostly wood it returns the heat, because its an insulator & tile, which is made of sand & ground stone, draws heat out of your hand because its a heat sink.
Ok, you say you sleep with the windows open. If you live in an area like in a coastal zone the dampness is coming in through the window. Close the window and see if that changes the factors. If it doesn't look at the other environmental factors. You don't mention if you have a swamp cooler or window cooler or air conditioner. Anything that involves water will create dampness .
With me it is a reaction to accidentally injesting MSG - monosodium glutamate. I feel like it is a 1000 degrees in the house and my husband says my skin is ice cold. It comes with other symptoms like my mouth, nose and eyes getting very dry. It lasts about 10 minutes and then settles down to where I just am shaking inside, and then finally that goes away.
when u find any kind o energy transformation taking place during an event then we can say that the matter involved in the event has carried some matter. For example; we have a two metal balls which collided, which consider to be an event, will have some energy transfer. say, the velocities of balls might differ as some amount of energy has been converted into sound (in air). then you may again get a doubt "what if any event does not take place?" according to mass energy equation [E=m(C*C)] mass and energy are inter-related every energy has mass and and every mass has energy. so every mass has energy. it is hat fact that basing on the frames of reference one may find that there is no energy possessed by a body. for example; lets consider a wooden block on the ground. for a person on the ground ( same level) will feel that the wooden block has no energy but for a person who is 1km deep ( consider that a person has dug 1km deep tunnel which is just beside the wooden block) will feel that the wooden block has potential energy as it is 1km high above him. and to a person on the moon ( say ) will feel that the wooden box has angular kinetic energy ( as the earth rotates). so i conclude saying that all objects ( say any mass) will always posses some energy. the forms vary in accordance with the frames of references. **** please don't mind for the punctuations( upper and lower case letters as it was not auto-edited)**************
Heat sink, insulative value of air, density of substances & heat transfer.
A tile floor would likely feel colder on your bare feet compared to a wooden floor at the same temperature. This is because tile is a better conductor of heat than wood, meaning it can draw more heat away from your feet, making it feel colder.
It's not at all certain that it is any cooler. But wood is a better insulator than cement so it will drain less heat from your body where you touch it, that's why wood will feel warmer.
Heat rises, so the air near the ceiling tends to be warmer while the air near the floor is cooler. This is why you may feel cooler when closer to the floor. Additionally, the bed may trap heat from your body, making it feel warmer compared to the floor.
The ground floor may feel cooler than the top floor due to heat rising through convection, where warm air accumulates at higher levels. Additionally, the ground floor may receive less direct sunlight or heat gain from the roof, leading to a cooler ambient temperature. Insufficient insulation or air circulation in the top floor could also contribute to it feeling warmer.
glass is always at a lower temperature than wood
A carpet feels warm because it provides insulation and traps air, which helps retain heat. In contrast, a stone floor conducts heat away from the body faster due to its density and lack of insulation, making it feel cold on bare feet.
Cement is a better conductor of heat than wood, meaning it can more easily transfer heat away from your body. This leads to the sensation of feeling colder when stepping on a cement floor compared to a wooden floor. Wood has a lower thermal conductivity, which makes it feel warmer to the touch.
Tile has higher thermal conductivity than wood, which allows it to draw heat away from the body faster, creating a sensation of coolness. Wood has lower thermal conductivity and may insulate the feet from the floor temperature, leading to a perception of warmth.
Metal can conduct heat away from your body (hands) faster than carpet.
The wind can make it feel cooler - wind chill.
Floor tiles absorb heat rapidly. This means that if you stand in bare feet on tiles, a lot of heat is drawn out of your foot. A carpet in comparison, absorbs heat slowly. This makes floor tiles feel colder that a carpet when they are actually the same temperature.
