I'd much prefer to be creaky and use that as an excuse to sleep, like my dad did.
I don't need excuses to sleep. I need time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The day after (and of, frankly) a marathon, our house echoed with my dad's snoring. Our friends would come over, suddenly see or hear him and start trying to be quiet. We told them not to bother. He'd be dead to the world. Until one of his snorts woke him up.

Do you find a gym that has one, or just have your spouse buy lots of ice and fill up the bathtub at home?
You do lots and lots of mean things, and then you die, and then you get sent to the ice bath. Isn't that how it goes?

Not so much numb as eerily hot.

So when the cops burst in to apprehend the criminal obviously committing a brutal, torturous murder, you don't flash them and retain at least a little dignity?

Something like that. Or, you can keep from freezing to death, and therefore stay in the bath longer.
