I have to. My body temperature burns bright. Really thought my body temperature would get cooler as I aged out of my 20's but it didn't. I run a fan when i sleep even in the winter. Sometimes I turn down my thermostat and Crack a window because my neighbors pump their heat so high.

    I never sleep without a blanket at home. If it's too hot I will put the AC on just do I can have my blanket.

    Solar panels, my last electricity bill for a quarter was literally $0 :)

    My comment was tongue in cheek. Solar and AC are a good combo.

    I'd argue there's still a energy+climate reckoning coming where energy won't be as abundant as it has been and high energy use activities (like AC) will be more challenging. the EROEI (Energy Return on Energy Invested) of renewables/low-carbon are much lower than peak fossil fuels.

    Incidentally I'm the same as you I'm so socialised on sleeping under something I do it regardless of temperature

    The opposite, I always sleep with blanket on even if I don't want to. In summer I fall asleep with blanket on my side and wake up fully covered in blanket. And sweating like a pig

    I have a kkitted blanket my grandmother gave me many years ago with large holes in it I use for this. It provides the weight with very little warmth. Perfect thing

    Blanket is how I get to sleep. I need it. I wish there was a cold blanket for these stupid hot summers. Edit: and yet I can nap fully clothes, on top the blankets, in the afternoon (if I'm super exhausted). So maybe I could condition myself out of this? But I'm not willing to risk my sleep on experiments).

    I don't put anything around a blanket. Can you find a picture?

    This, I could not find an image of, but it's the thing she wraps around the blanket. (The same video, but you don't have to visit YouTube https://files.catbox.moe/%2F70g75k.mp4)

    Sometimes when it's really hot I take out the blanket from the cover, and just sleep with the cover :3

    I have to have covers, absolutely hate my back being uncovered if nothing else. Some sort of blanket or sheet is essential to get to sleep.

  • I absolutely can’t sleep without a blanket, but my eight year old sleeps with no blanket and no pillow. Just a couple of stuffed animals in his bed.

    No blanket, but I can't sleep without a sheet of some sort. I usually use a cooling sheet

    If it's too hot. Unless it's actually frigid in my room, I also tend to kick the blanket off at some point during the night.

    Summer, deff (its 42C out in the day).

    Winters? Hell no. I was raised by the ocean, so used to very mild climates. Now I live at the base of hills.

    On one hand, love all the green, rain and cool temps come spring and autumn. But 0C winter cold? Im a walking cloth hill, nightly buried in comforters.

    Bamboo sheets are pretty nice. They have weight to them but keep you cool in the summer.

    Fat has insulation properties. Without its probably best to crank up the heating.

  • Only if I pass out from exhaustion/lack of sleep.
