Increase in Room Temperature by One Human

It's been a very long time since I had a physics course that might address this.
Suppose I have a 10x10x10' room that has one human in it. The room is fully insulated. A human produces 100 watts, but 1/2 of that is in heat. What I would like to know is if the room was initially at 60F, what temperature would it be at say 6 hours later? I would think this somehow involves knowing the specific heat of a human body and air. Roughly or exactly, how does one make the calculation? I have no idea what the specific heat is for either item.
