Title: Anyone else have to sleep with covers even if it's warm?
Post by: pectacon on September 24, 2018, 01:13:59 pm
I feel way too exposed to sleep with no covers, too bad since my bedroom is usually too warm. I need at least the sheet. I wish there was a blanket that would give you the weight of the covers but without the warmth.

 I do like the weight, also.  I'm usually cold at some point during the night, even if I start out warm enough. Lately, I've formed the habit of covering my head as well, with something lightweight, like a silk nightgown. By the time I've nestled down into my "nest," I've usually got just the tip of my nose exposed!

For some reason I have to have at least my hips covered with the covers. Even if it is very warm, I need to have my sheet over my hips (feet sticking out possibly) or I will not be able to fall asleep. I have no idea why.

Yes, I need covers on me, all the way up to my neck. I feel like I'm exposed if I'm not covered. After all, I'm sleeping and anything could happen.

I sleep with covers even when it's warm but I normally use a coverlet which is lightweight and seems to work for me.   :) :) :) :)

I tend to use throw blankets.  These actually vary and some are thinner than others.  In fact even in the winter it is rare when I actually go under the covers.  I have a thin throw blanket ontop of the bed and generally I go under that with the bed cover underneath me.  I've found it provides the warmth I need in the winter with the need to cover myself in the summer.  For me, I can't get hot because when I do, I get sick so even if I am passed out asleep, the minute my body gets too hot, I wake up.  But honestly, not all throw blankets are designed straight for winter, which is a good thing for those of us that can't get too hot.  CoolMax is the best example of this type of blanket.  They are designed to give you the cover you need without getting you hot.

I have always slept with covers to my neck ever since I used to watch Dark Shadows with my Granny when I was real young!!

I'm the same... It doesn't matter how warm it is I still need a cover when I'm sleeping.  In fact the heavier and thicker the better.  If I get a chill when I'm sleeping I'll wake up.  If it's cool outside I don't like the windows open.  And the fan - forget about it.  The wisps of my hair tickle my face and I can't sleep then either.

I have to have a weighty blanket on my upper body to sleep well.  I crocheted one with the tightest stitch and thickest heaviest yarn I could find.  I think its a security thing.

Never, I get the terrible hot flashes so no in summer and usually only a sheet or comforter in really cold weather.  My husband claims he has to sleep in a freezer!  In summer central air on and ceiling fan on.  In winter window opened a few inches.

Yes, I have to have a blanket on me at all times. I use the same blanket summer/winter, although I usually will add an electric blanket when it gets really cold.

I need some kind of covering, so I bought a duvet when it's comfortable for all seasons due to the fabrics.

I'm usually really warm and constantly pulling the covers on and off all night. Last night we had all the windows open and the temp dropped to the lower 40s. My husband was freezing, but I was still struggling with the blankets. Must be starting the "change".  :P

I used to always have to have covers up until this year when it was just too hot to keep the covers on.  We had a couple of days, weeks of heat waves where it didn't get cool at night, like it usually does, and stayed 90' all night long... that was when the no covers started.

Well you do know that cotton sheet protection protects you from the monsters. lol  There is some kind of weighted blanket that is suppose to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Post by: tnshpalmer85 on September 26, 2018, 04:27:19 pm
Yes I need covers, but when it is warm I have to turn on the air conditioner or a fan or something because I will get too hot with the covers on, but I also  can't sleep without them.

I have to have a cover. Like many of you I also feel exposed. I also like cuddling up with blanket/comforter.

Yes, I totally need a cover.  I can't sleep open it just makes me feel naked.

For some reason I have been sleeping without covers for a while now. I guess I find it too constricting even during winter time.

I prefer to snuggle in the covers. I can't sleep if it is too warm generally it stays pretty cool in my bedroom (it is downstairs).  To get upstairs cool it can get down right cold so most of the air vents are closed during the summer.

I some times need to sleep with covers on if it's warm but when it's too hot I can't have anything touching me. Can't wear socks either.

Post by: patti4me on September 28, 2018, 02:49:33 pm
I do, and it can't be a little thin sheet either; I have to have a sheet and a comforter.  I use a heavy comforter in the winter and a thin one in the summer.  My husband sleeps without any covers and I will never understand how he does that.

I always try to make it cold enough in the room so I have to wear covers

  :bunny:   :cat:   :dog: I tend to go to bed with covers. Summertime months I use a lightweight blanket and a sheet. The winter months for the year I put a heavier blanket on the bed with the sheet.  :bunny:   :cat:  :dog:

Negative. If I am warm, I have to sleep with the fan (or AC on) with nothing to cover me.

Yes I may have a fan blowing on me year round but I also have some sort of covers on me year round as well.  It may only be a light throw but I have something on me.  Funny how we all have these little odd things and procedures we have to do no matter what.

Even if it is hot outside, to me with the air conditioner on it is still kind of cool in the house at night.  I always sleep with at least the sheet on me.
