i dont cover myself with a blanket or a light sheet. I feel very comfortable if i cover myself. Even in summers i like to pull over a light sheet which dosnt make me warm but makes me feel nice and protected! What about you can you go off to sleep without covering yourself with a balnket or a light sheet?

I also usually cover myself with a blanket when I sleep. the thing is its become a habit of mine to always cover myself with a blanket, yet there are times when I feel hot then when I remove the blanket I feel cold and it goes on until I fell asleep XD.

It has become a habit for me too ans that is why even in summers i cover myself with a light sheet with the AC put on! When i fall asleep the sheet goes off me but as soon as i wake up i pull it up again.

Lol same here, early in the morning when I wake up I usually have my blanket removed and I put it on me again and get back to sleep a few more mins. like 10-20 mins. before I finally start my day. :)

I used to need something to cover myself with but now I'm okay with nothing but my nightclothes. When I was little, I thought if I covered myself up the monsters wouldn't find me! Even as an adult I needed something, anything, over me. Since I moved into this house I'm over that, thank goodness! But I still like covers to make me feel cozy.

I haven't got over it yet! I still need covers to make me feel at ease and cozy. I somehow feel that this house is good for you.

I do not cover my face during sleep. Even in the summer I prefer a light sheet to cover my body and if the AC is on I like to have a sheet to cover my body and it is comfortable for me. When I am out and stay in a hotel they supply blankets and the room is chilled as such the blanket work even in the summer.

I too can not cover my face but i need to cover my legs at all times while sleeping. It makes me feel more secure!! I do the same thing i put the AC on and then take a light blanket over me which really annoys my mom.

Yup, I feel the same too. Our weather here is hot and humid, even during the rainy season. Yet I have to cover myself with a blanket, in order to sleep. So I would have air-conditioner on. My hubby said it doesn't make sense - but I have been doing this since young!

Covering ones self with the ac on actually dosnt make sence but that is what i do too! Its just a matter of habit i guess. I have to have something to cover my feet even in the hot summers!

I have the same habit as you too. I just cannot get to sleep if I don't cover myself with blanket. If the weather is hot,I will also cover my feet with a light blanket. I have been practicing this habit since I was small. I feel very unsecured if I sleep without a blanket.

Yes, it is wierd but a sheet or a blanket does make you feel safe and secure. I too have been doing this for a really long time and now i am unable to sleep without covering atleast my feet if the weather is too hot.

Hello to you SangsTurks! I would always have to use a blanket especially that it is cold almost all year round here in the place where I live. I have always been more comfortable sleeping with a blanket on or at least a light sheet. I need not cover myself up to my face as that wouldn't be comfortable. I think that there is a certain level of comfort that we get from using blankets when we sleep.

Hi SangsTurks, I used to be just like you. I couldn't sleep unsless I had a sheet covering me. Now if it's really hot I can't stand having even the sheet covering me. It's been like that for the last few years. I don't mind anymore not having anything covering me when it's really hot, but there was a time when I had to have at least a sheet on me. It's just that now I'm more comfortable without anything. In fact I actually feel trapped sometimes if the sheet is on me. I feel alot freer if there's just nothing on top of me. It's funny because I have to sleep in a night shirt or nightgown and undies. That's a must!

Same here. I cannot sleep without a blanket. But when the weather's not so cold, I only cover half of my body. There are also times when I cover everything all the way to my head. But I have read something that it is not good for you. That it affects your mental capabilities but I am not so sure about it though. Well, blankets make me feel so warm, safe and comfortable. They are a great alternative to hugs! Happy mylotting.

I find it pretty hard getting off to sleep without anything ovver me...in warmer weather I'll just use a regular bed sheet. Don't know why I can't sleep without! I think it's just a comfort thing =)

I can sleep either with or without blanket as a cover. I just need the heaviness of my eyelids to pull me down to sleep. Just use a dim light and nice sounds, that would lull me to sleep.
