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? 🛌

I need it to sleep comfortably, but airconditioning is not common here so when it’s 28 degrees Celsius inside the blanket gets yeeted. Having all balcony doors open without really any light cover and sleeping on a bed without any cover feels very exposed. But at lest it makes it somewhat bearable. This is only like 3 days a year tho, I really try to avoid it
I need at least sheets that are thick enough not to let light through, not super thin sheets. It’s annoying in summer months. I need my feet covered because I’m paranoid about mosquitos though it’s rare for them to actually get inside and I need my head/eyes covered as well or it just doesn’t feel right, partly about light and muffling noise.
And for me it’s definitely a horizontal sleeping thing too. Propped up I can fall asleep while being only partially covered or hardly at all but horizontal I have to have it.
For those who need the weight of a blanket, they should make a loose chainmail blanket for hot days.
I would totally buy a chainmail onesie
nah weighted blanket not even enough i need to hug something
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.
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
I can only sleep with a blanket too. If I not covered by a blanket the monsters will get me!
You have never visited a tropical country I presume.
If a sheet counts as a blanket no. I need at least a sheet.
Nah, I gotta burrito up.
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 can on couch but not bed.
It’s really hard, but it’s been consistently like 90-95 degrees outside and I don’t have A/C. Kinda had to get used to sleeping with a fan blowing directly on me. I still miss my blanket though, as soon as the fall comes I will return to burrito.
