I’m apparantly a REALLY screwed up freak:

I sleep best when I have the blankets pulled all the way up to my neck, but one foot or both feet have to be stuck out of the covers.

Doesn’t matter the temperature either…that’s just how it’s got to be.

No matter how cold, I have to have my feet uncovered. My mom is the same way, and my daughter seems to be too. She manages to uncover her feet when it doesn’t seem possible, and she is only 11 weeks old. OTOH I need to have my knees covered or I cant sleep.

I don’t care whether my feet are covered or not, but I absolutely can not wear socks to sleep.

If I’m sleeping outdoors in sub-freezing weather, I usually try to sleep in socks, but it never works. I get into my sleeping bag with the socks on, and that’s okay while I’m warming up, but I have to take them off before I can actually sleep.
