I need blanket throughout the year no matter it is summer or winter, I like to be covered when I'm sleeping and I don't feel comfortable if I don't have something to hold on with. My hubby is like that too, he has told me he doesn't like to have his butt show to the whole world hehe, I thought it was very funny :-p
Do you have this sleeping habit too?

Yes, I need a sleeping blanket. I get used to even the weather is warm I still have a blanket to cover me when I am sleeping, my sleeping routine will not be complete without a blanket. My body must be covered everytime I am sleeping.

hi mermaidivy! ^^
i can sleep even without a blanket. especially during summer! i can't sleep when its hot. although i have an extra pillow beside me. ^^ it doesn't matter if my panties get exposed because no one would come to my room and see it anyway. ^^;; and the lights are off always, i can't sleep when the lights are on.

I always use either a blanket or a light sheet. It makes me feel safer and more secure.

I don't think there is no one that doesn't sleep without a blanket or Cover or a Sheet.

i also need a blanket no matter how hot the weather is since i use that to cover my behind. i easily get gas and a blanket provides more coverage than a pillow.

I also have this sleeping habit. I like to be bundled up warmly, no matter the season. I feel as though I fall asleep faster and sleep deeper and longer when I am kept warm throughout the night.

This is also like me. I prefer to sleep in a warm place than in a cold one. That is why it isn't a problem with me sleeping during noon time. In fact, I even have a blanket with me and my most trusted mosquito net.

I only like to sleep with a blanket during the winter when its cold. During the summer months we sleep with just a sheet over us, I'm like your husband, I have to have something to cover me..lol. Whether its hot or cold, we always use some kind of cover.

We used to be that way, and it would be a little annoying waking in the summer heat a little wet. We know have made it to the point where we exchanged the blanket for two sheets; more thick than just one, but still, lighter.

You can count me in with the blanket huggers! I like to have something over me when I sleep even if it is just a sheet in the summer. In the winter time my doona keeps me covered and warm and my electric blanket is a must! I relate to your husband, I like to keep my butt well and truly under cover!

Yeah. Same here. I can't sleep without a blanket. Even if I have really warm pajamas on, I couldn't get any shut-eye without something to cover me. It's not paranoid, is it? But I feel exposed if I don't have a blanket. (That's saying something.. Ha, ha. I live in a tropical country.)

I live in a tropicl country too, even though it is humid and hot, it makes us need to turn on the air conditioner in the summer, otherwise, we get very sticy and sweaty during the sleep but I still need my blanket otherwise I feel weird sleeping without it. Thanks for sharing! :-)

I tend to instinctively reach for blankets, even in the summer, but I can sleep without them. I tend to do it several times per year...mostly in the summer, when it's too hot for blankets and I travel alot.

I'm the same way you and your husband are. I always have to have a blanket over me to be able to sleep. It can be a million degrees outside and in the room where I am sleeping, and I might lay on top of the covers for a little while, but when it comes to being able to fall asleep, I need to cover up. I guess it may make me feel protected or something weird like that. Some people think that is strange, but I don't think they're strange for sleeping without a blanket. Why should I be concerned with others sleeping habits, right, lol! There have been a few times where it has been really hot outside and I couldn't sleep because it was too warm with a blanket over me so I tried to cover myself up with just a sheet and for some weird reason that doesn't work the same as a blanket for me because I couldn't sleep like that either. Now I know that is probably a little bit strange but eventually I just end up getting so tired that I fall asleep under the hot blankets and then wake up a few hours later probably a few pounds lighter because I'm sweating so much, lol!

At last! Someone else like me out there! I don't like to have a warm room and will purposely make it as cold as I can comfortably stand it so I can use a blanket. I used to open a window in the winter so I could still use my blanket. And in the summer I have the ac running, then I take a cool shower and have a fan blowing directly on me. But, I'm securely snuggled up in my blanket to sleep! Haha.

I prefer having a blanket. Even this morning despite it being a bit humid. It can be any blanket and even a sheet. I like the current comforter that I have. My room mate has the same exact one, so I don't mind using hers as well. (She lets me sleep in her room when she's not home.)
