Say, MaxErnst, how about this as a solution to your dilemma with heat for your sleeping spouse and A/C to your face:

Reach over and close the right-hand and center-right vents
Direct the left-hand and center-left vents at your face
Press the Seat Heater button for the passenger seat
Press the button directing air to the Center & Outboard vents
Turn up the fan and lower the temperature until your face is icy cold.

If that does not work, pull over and take a walk around the car a few times.
