Although the days here in Boston are very nice the nights are getting very cold. I started taking my blankets out of storage. I'm not comfortable sleeping with a lot of blankets so when I make my bed I only put a sheet and a comforter. Right now the comforter is just enough for me and I even sleep with the bedroom window open a few inches. Probably by the time October gets here I'll add a blanket under the comforter.

Most of the time I will end up throwing the comforter off myself while I'm sleeping because I can't sleep if I'm too hot and since the heat will be going on I definitely won't need both.

Are you the type who likes to sleep under a lot of blankets when it's cold? Do you make your bed with a blanket or just keep one folded at the bottom of the bed just in case?

When I turn the heat up I usually have to take the blankets off. I don't like getting hot while I'm sleeping.

Here in the Hudson valley, my windows are still wide open. Right now a sheet and a loght weight comforter. The heat in my bedroom only goes on when the thermostat goes below the minimum on it -- which I think is 45. I can't sleep when I am too warm, but prefer a mountain of blankets to having the room warm.

I also use my labs for warmth...one will lean on my legs the other on my back...they are better then any electric blanket

I can't sleep if it gets too warm either. The room being cold feels good but I might put a few blankets on to keep comfy.

Hi Ctrymyziklvr,

Well,for me, I don't have to add more than one blanket since it is not that cold during winter here. And in fact, it never snows and seldom freezes.

WBR,Andy

You are VERY lucky if it seldom freezes and never snows. Those are the nights I like to throw on a few blankets even if I end up throwing them off.

I always need to be covered up. Even in the summer I have to have a blanket on in order to sleep. I am in a Northern Rural Canada community and it gets cold fast. Already we have frost in the mornings. I used to use Comforters but now I have 3 of those flat hospital style blankets that tend to hold a lot more heat. Plus my sheets.
When I was younger I never made my bed. I thought I am just going to mess it up so what's the point. But after having kids and having them make theirs every day I thought I should make mine. I actually have to make my bed everyday now no matter how busy or sick. I love getting into a fresh bed every night. HEHE

Here in Michigan it's gotten quite cold the last several nights. Like down in the high 30s. Brrrr!

I normally just use one blanket and a sheet but when it gets really chilly (like now) I get my down comforter out and just use that and a sheet. I used to have to have 3 or 4 blankets or one blanket and an electric blanket to keep warm as we keep our house quite cold in winter. Like 62 in winter because it is so expensive to heat our house.

Under the down comforter which is very lightweight we are toasty warm and often times too warm. Down is awesome. I mean, when you figure that the ducks can swim around in cold water in the winter, down must be good stuff!

About two really think blankets and one thin one. I can't stand being cold! Or hot! It's in the 40's here in Kentucky at night time. :( So soon. I'm not ready for winter or cold weather. :( Winter seems to be depressing especially after New Years. :(

I find it so hard getting exactly the right temperature I like when I'm going to sleep. I often throw the blankets off anyway.


myLot reputation of 87/100. loolets (1332)  5 years ago

You're not the only one! One night I was SO COLD I had 4-5 blankets on me and woke up sweating in the middle of the night. And sometimes I'll still be so cold, I'll wake up looking for more blankets! I usually have 2 just in case. I do get cold easily. hehe

We turn off the heating and open the window to let in fresh, cold air.

We also don't have blankets but use a duvet, a downie, a down filled sort of quilt encased in a sheet.

My wife has just changed from a light summer downie to our winter downie but I often kick it off as it is still quite mild and no frosts with us yet.

Sometimes I wake on a winters morning and there is frost on the inside of the windows!

I much prefer the cold to the heat.

I also prefer to be cooler than warmer when I'm in bed.

I get cold very easy due to Raynaud's and CREST so I have to keep pretty warm. I use to pile the blankets on till we got a heating blanket and the heating blanket works better!
