    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.

          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

          Yeah that’s it lol I haven’t slept tonight and it’s 6am so I’m running on the thought of fumes at this point. I’m shocked I’m this coherent

    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’ve got a cool weighted blanket that breathes well but still gives that heavy blanket comfort.

      I sometimes sleep with the thing you put around a blanket (I’m not sure what the right word for it is in English)

              Thanks. I tried translating it in my language to English, and I also got dust cover, but I thought it was a mistranslation.I thought a dust cover was the thing some people put on their bed during the day to prevent dust.

                the thing some people put on their bed during the day to prevent dust.

                I’ve never heard or something like this. How dusty would a bed get after 12 hours?

            Wow, so you put your blanket it a bag. I guess what I use are basically quilts. Yours look much more fluffy, and also, the bag itself is much more light than my quilt-like blankets.

        The phrase you are after is “Duvet cover.” A blanket is technically just a single layer of fabric, a quilt is several layers and a Duvet is 2 layers with stuffing. Calling any/all of them “blankets” is normal… until you have to put the cover on.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    I need a blanket to sleep and I usually sleep on my side. When it’s hot I put the lower half between my legs to prevent them sticking together and one corner of the upper half covers my torso the other corner is between my shoulder and face (I rarely use my pillow). It’s more of a ‘hugging the blanket’ than a ‘being covered by it’ situation.

    Blanket is super comfy so if it’s cool enough, yes. If I’m going to be swimming in ball sweat soup an hour after falling asleep it’s sans blanket time

        my primary machine’s a dell precision t5810 and secondary one’s t3600, both has old power hungry xeon cpus so they’re pretty hot even on idle

          My office gets like that with 2 desktops running, a Pi4, NVR, and 3D printer. Its typically 5-10 degrees hotter in there based off my IoT temp sensors I have in each room.
