From physics, a blackbody at 37 degrees C will radiate about 500 W/m2

If you take the surface area of a body as about 2m2, that means you're losing 1000 J/s.

Take your weight in KG, and your body temprature should drop about one degree in (your weight in KG here) seconds.

For the non-metric among us: 1 KG = 2.205 pounds.
