For me: noticed, even if it is not too cold, but too warm, I need a blanket to fall asleep. The weight of the blanket makes it more comfortable, I guess? 🛌

For those who need the weight of a blanket, they should make a loose chainmail blanket for hot days.
you are a good inventor to be honest. My idea, make it even heavier with lead balls 💀.
The limited edition luxury model is extra heavy already, because it’s made from gold.
No. Even in the summer during a heatwave I was sleeping with a 15 tog duvet because I need the weight, until I got a weighted blanket which is much more comfortable. I can fall asleep on the couch without a blanket though which is weird, just not in bed.
Do weighted blankets retain heat all? I love blankets, but it has been difficult to use anything more than a thin sheet (and even that is often stretching it) when it is crazy hot outside and the upstairs isn’t cooled well by the AC.
They seem pretty good for not trapping too much heat, but we have quite cool summers here so what I would consider an unbearably hot day is probably different to most people. I could comfortably sleep in it under 24°C, anything above that and I can’t sleep no matter what type of blanket I have anyway. There are cooling ones made of cotton that might work if you’re in a hotter climate but they cost a fair bit more.
I can sleep on the couch if I’m dressed in bed I’m usually just in underwear.
I personally can’t sleep without some kind of covering. But I understand that some people can. Psychopaths have to sleep sometime too, I guess. (lolz)
I can only sleep with a blanket too. If I not covered by a blanket the monsters will get me!
If a sheet counts as a blanket no. I need at least a sheet.
You have never visited a tropical country I presume.
I can on couch but not bed.
Every summer I have to re-learn how to sleep without a blanket. I used to turn on the air conditioner so my room is cool enough to sleep with a blanked before I realized that’s dumb as hell.
Up until my mid-twenties, yes. Lived in a tropical country and no A/C, just fans. I only started using a blanket when I finally lived in a place with A/C.
Sometimes I like to double up
No. I will sweat my entire bag off over the night to have a blanket. I have been laying ice packs around my bed every night recently, to offset my weird blanket insanity.
weird blanket insanity
I need something to cover my ear as I sleep on my side due to…anxiety? Autism? Some terrible deep thing I don’t know about? So blanket it is.
This is painful in the summer.
I can sleep more places (I’ll place my hand over my ear) but because I’m contorted it won’t be a good or long sleep.
I converted sweat pants into shorts and the length i took off i was able to fold in half inside of itself so it made a double layered tube. It’s been a great sleepy mask because it covers ears and eyes thoroughly without making my head too hot. Maybe this can be an option for you?
Nah, I gotta burrito up.
No, I need something to keep a pocket of warm air around me, unless:
- It’s hot enough I’d sweat with the blanket on
- I’m tired enough I’m actively fighting to stay awake
- I’m wearing something equivalent to a blanket like a puffy jacket (for the times I was exiled to the couch in college)
