Well,do you cover from head to toe or just upto your neck or waist.People use to sleep with blanket cover in so many ways and what is your choice.Or don't you have the habit of using covers?

Yes!We should adapt to the weather and use a blanket when it is really needed.What is the need to cover up to your waist in summers?Is that still habitual?

i don't use blanket unless its chilling in the winter. i use bedsheets when the winter is on the wane and spring sets in. but i do put on the fan when i use a blanket, else i start sweating. and i am suffering from sinusitis, thus i do cover from head to toe. otherwise the disease would flare up.

Oh!You have sinus trouble!How long are you having it?Have you to sleep with blankets on for the disease?does things get worse in the winter?Like always getting a running nose like that or much more severe?

Are you undergoing any treatment for your sinus troubles?More than that eating warm food always and drinking warm water will help you more.How do you restrict yourself from eating ice creams?

its been 2 years since im having sinus. yeah in winter it may flare up. sinusitis is an infection of the nasa sinuses. cold temperature helps organisms grow and thus the infection may flare up.

I do not cover myself with any blanket when I sleep if the aircondition is off. But if I am using the airconditioner then I would use a blanket. So my using of blanket is not about habit but rather it depends on the temperature.

That is right.We have to adapt to the environment.But some people need a blanket despite the weather or temperature.They couldn't sleep with a cover even in hot summer days.Some habits die hard.Cheers!

Nope, I am not that kind of individual. I sleep with or without blanket. I don't like blanket to cover my whole body because it is very hot. If i is raining or feeling cold then that is the only time I got myself covered with blanket.

You are like me.I use blankets only when they are needed,mostly in cool weather days.Otherwise it will be disturbing to use one in hot summer days.But there are people who can't sleep without a blanket.Like one of my friends,he wants a blanket to hold at least to get into sleep.LOL!Cheers!

when it's too cold, i have to cover a blanket from head to toe, but if it's warm, then it's better to sleep without blanket as well. i am not used to using blankets while sleeping.

You vote in favor of me.I don't use blankets in hot summers which makes us more hot and sweaty.Blankets are extremely useful in cold days.It maintains the warmness for us to sleep in peace.Bit some people are used to blankets despite seasons.Cheers!

when i dont have the airconditioner i cannot sleep with a blanket on. i feel warm and i dont want to sleep all sweaty on bed. so its also either i have an electric fan... with that i would put a blanket but some parts of my body must be out to feel the coldness or air from the fan. jhelai

Up to the neck!That is better.I know one friend of mine who uses to sleep with his blanket up to his waist alone.He never covered his upper parts.Lately we learned that he didn't wear anything below and so he covered like that.LOL!Cheers!

Well, when its hot, no way. Not even a small bedsheet. I prefer to sleep in my night dress and nothing over it. But when the climate becomes cooler, then I prefer to cover myself with a bedsheet upto the chest. When it becomes really cold, then only I cover myself with the full bedsheet upto my head and cuddle up.

You are right.We have to adjust with the weather outside.Same as you,I use the blankets only in the cold weather days.I cover up to my ears,leaving room to the nose to peek out.That is quite tricky and you can try it too.Cheers!

You are right.We don't need a blanket when it is hot.But some people are used to it that they are unable to get into sleep without a blanket.They have trained themselves like that.Be glad you are not addicted like that.Cheers!

Don't you start sweating inside your blanket?Will it not be disturbing?Perhaps,you sleep in an air conditioned room?How did you get into this practice?Can you remember?

Hi Ganesh! I always cover myself with a blanket while sleeping, even if it is slightly hot. I feel that the blanket gives me a protection and secure feeling like I am sleeping in the hands of my mother. I love it.

Oh!Cute little girl,still remembering mother's warmth!Yes!most of us use blankets for security reasons more than comfort or to maintain the temperature.In the future,will you remember this warmth with your husband or that is an unique feeling reserved for your mother?

No, I don't cover myself completely in blanket. But I do this if I feel cold. Otherwise I prefer comfort while I am sleeping.

We need a blanket when the climate is cold.that is sure.Otherwise using a blanket will bring less comfort to our sleep.That would be disturbing us,even.Cheers!

I can't sleep if I don't have a blanket that covering my body. Even if it is hot right now I want to use blanket. I don't know why I can't sleep without it. Since I was a kid I want to cover all of my body with blanket. Sometimes its hard to resist the habit.

It is clear that you are trained like that from your childhood.Are you brought up with more sisters and brothers?Covering completely with a blanket gives us secured feeling and that is the main reason behind.Cheers!

my use of cover when sleeping depends on the situation. if it's cold, i cover my body up to my neck. if it's hot, up to my waist only. but when i get scared i cover myself from head to toe! but whatever the situation is when i wake up my cover is always not covering me anymore! lol

LOL!Most of us wake up without covers always.But it is better.Some will woke up in a different place.They use to turn around,roll and move all over the bed and sometimes discover themselves under the bed ,waking up.LOL!Cheers!

Well, I have this habbit of covering my hair to my feet with blanket when I go to sleep. I have this habit because in my childhood, I used to go and sleep early in night with the bulb on for an hour or so. Thus, I wanted to avoid that light and blanket was a good cover for me. Still, i can't sleep without my eyes covered by blanket, be the light is on or not!

In my childhood days,I used to cover like that out of fear.I was really scared of ghosts and I thought,covering like that they could not see me and I could cheat them.LOL!Cheers!

Sometimes, because of being too sleepy, I'd forget to cover myself with a blanket. I live in a place where the climate is tropical so it doesn't get too cold to always need a blanket. But sometimes, at dawn I wake up to find my blanket because the air gets really cold.

So,blanket is not a must for you to sleep and you need it only when you really have to use one.That is really nice.Some people can't do without blankets despite the weather.Cheers!

I always have to be completely covered in order to sleep, except for my head. A sheet isn't enough for me either, I need covers with some weight to them. This can cause problems in the summer months, but with the air conditioning on, I can still use my covers when it's hot outside. For some reason, I just can't seem to fall asleep with only a sheet on, and if I do fall asleep, I'm not nearly as comfortable. I definitely can never fall asleep without any covers at all!

I think ,you feel secure with a cover on.So you need it even in hot summers which you manage with air conditioning.What if the cover slips off after you have slept?Will you get awake out of instinct or continue sleeping?
