For me: noticed, even if it is not too cold, but too warm, I need a blanket to fall asleep. The weight of the blanket makes it more comfortable, I guess? 🛌

Still, it’s better with a blanket, it’s like saying the brain feels protected. Of course, I slept without a blanket, but for that you have to be incredibly tired, so much so that you won’t care where and how you sleep, even in a barn, as long as it is quiet and nothing disturbs.
For those who need the weight of a blanket, they should make a loose chainmail blanket for hot days.
you are a good inventor to be honest. My idea, make it even heavier with lead balls 💀.
The limited edition luxury model is extra heavy already, because it’s made from gold.
I would totally buy a chainmail onesie
No. I need a blanket. Specifically my heavy weighted Mexican tiger blank, all year long, even through peak summer heat.
“Mexican tiger blank;” I have so many questions…
Something like this, sold at county fairs usually by a screaming guy with a mic in front of a crowd, … Quite iconic. Now a days they are shittier quality.
I’ve got a weighed blanket that is oddly not hot. Bamboo maybe? It was a gift. Air gets through, light does not.
I have one that has like a knit structure(?), so it provides basically no heating.
I also need my weighted blanket. Well, need is a little strong. I vastly prefer having over other blankets.
Can’t do sheets they’re far too light for me
I can fall asleep on the bus. It’s fine.
I’m so weird about this. If I’m sitting or slightly reclined, I can sleep fine without a blanket. Once I’m horizontal, 100% need a blanket
No. I will sweat my entire bag off over the night to have a blanket. I have been laying ice packs around my bed every night recently, to offset my weird blanket insanity.
weird blanket insanity
Nah, I gotta burrito up.
nah weighted blanket not even enough i need to hug something
same
No. Even in the summer during a heatwave I was sleeping with a 15 tog duvet because I need the weight, until I got a weighted blanket which is much more comfortable. I can fall asleep on the couch without a blanket though which is weird, just not in bed.
Do weighted blankets retain heat all? I love blankets, but it has been difficult to use anything more than a thin sheet (and even that is often stretching it) when it is crazy hot outside and the upstairs isn’t cooled well by the AC.
They seem pretty good for not trapping too much heat, but we have quite cool summers here so what I would consider an unbearably hot day is probably different to most people. I could comfortably sleep in it under 24°C, anything above that and I can’t sleep no matter what type of blanket I have anyway. There are cooling ones made of cotton that might work if you’re in a hotter climate but they cost a fair bit more.
I can sleep on the couch if I’m dressed in bed I’m usually just in underwear.
During the summer months, pretty much all that is on my bed is a fitted sheet and a bed sheet covering me.
I live in mid Minnesota (US).
Every summer I have to re-learn how to sleep without a blanket. I used to turn on the air conditioner so my room is cool enough to sleep with a blanket before I realized that’s dumb as hell.
I’m more or less with you, I need a blanket. For slightly different reasons though.
I have to feel some sort of texture when I sleep, otherwise I get bad dreams of falling from high places if I’m sleeping on/under silky smooth surfaces.
I need something to cover my ear as I sleep on my side due to…anxiety? Autism? Some terrible deep thing I don’t know about? So blanket it is.
This is painful in the summer.
I can sleep more places (I’ll place my hand over my ear) but because I’m contorted it won’t be a good or long sleep.
I converted sweat pants into shorts and the length i took off i was able to fold in half inside of itself so it made a double layered tube. It’s been a great sleepy mask because it covers ears and eyes thoroughly without making my head too hot. Maybe this can be an option for you?
I’ve tried doing that with headphones that are a band, basically, and I move too much and the thing either yeets off the top of my head or gets uncomfortable and twisty. I could try with different fabric maybe.
You have never visited a tropical country I presume.
I frequently sleep without a blanket in front of a fan, Its too hot and humid for anything else.
Room temperature above 24°C, no blanket. Above 26°C, I don’t even need a sheet, but I’ll usually keep it, because cold air from the A/C sometimes disturbs me.
I know plenty of people who insist on cooling their room at night so that they can be comfortable under a blanket.
seems like they are willing to invest energy, so they can feel comfortable with a blanket, interesting!
