How covered up do you sleep? I generally cover up to my 'pits.

</div>

I usually cover all the way up, including the top of my head, like a mummy. That way the Mushroom People can’t get me in my sleep.

</div>

Depends how hot it is. In July, not even a sheet; last night, it was a bit chilly, so up to my shoulders under a cotton blanket.

</div>

Depends on how hot the room is, sometimes all that’s covering me is a tiny corner of the sheet across my butt. Weird that I can’t sleep completely uncovered. :dubious:

</div>

No matter what I’m wearing, I sleep on my side, with the covers up to my chin, one pillow in front of me, one behind me, one under my head, and one over it.

It’s a regular Pillow Paradise.

Being naked in Pillow Paradise makes it extra special.

</div>

Depends on the weather. Now (summer) I sometimes sleep totally uncovered.

In the winter, when it gets _really_ cold, I cover completely to my ears and assume the fetal position.

</div>

In winter, I cuddle up into a little ball and pull the covers right up over my head. In summer, I generally throw the covers off altogether and sleep starfish-style across the bed. Of course, that’s if I’m sleeping alone…

</div>

I’m always covered to my neck - it may be just a sheet or it may be a blanket and comforter, but it’s always up around my shoulders. All that you can see of me when I’m sleeping is my head.  
Wait - you’re not watching me sleep, are you?!? :eek:

</div>

If not on me, i need the covers to be close, so i can hugg it with my arms and put one leg over.  
The best is when although it is hot, the bed and the covers are cold…_think Pepsi commercial: AHHHHHHH!_

</div>

ALways up to my neck, curved around my shoulders. Otherwise I can’t fall asleep. After that, whatever happens, happens. \*\*Ryujin \*\* claims I’m cocooned up like a caterpillar.

</div>

**5U1C1D3** , I’m with you. I’ve even been known to put my pillows on top of the AC vents before bed time so that they get cold. And I’m rarely cold, so I pretty much just sleep without covers. If I want to get warm, I just snuggle up to the wife.

My privates don’t think much of the draft.

</div>

Depends on how warm it is. If it’s hot, I don’t cover up at all. Usually sometime during the night I’ll cover up to my waist.

</div>

It’s autumn here, so all the way under the duvet (except my feet, of course: I am a bloke), but during the summer I usually have just my stomach covered.

When I lived in Hong Kong with no a/c I used to sleep with no covers at all. Took a while getting used to.

</div>

Spring, Summer, Fall - a sheet (at most) across the naughty bits in case the kids come wandering in (no kids, no covering).

Winter - sheet and comforter up to the shoulders (but with my feet uncovered - don’t like me feet covered up).

</div>

Always at least a sheet, usually with one or both arms uncovered. More coverings as weather warrants, fewer as company requires.

</div>

Feet canNOT be covered! Generally barely covered from sholder to hip so the cat can sleep on my back. If hot, not covers at all but may cover a little in the wee hours.

</div>

All year round I make the room as cold as I can and surround myself in as many pillows as possible. Then I take all the blankets on my bed(usually two or three) and wrap myself up in a cocoon of sorts.

When staying at my girlfriend’s, we keep each other warm 😉

</div>

In Miami we keep the A/C on ALL THE TIME, so when it is working well, covered up to my neck. When it is not, I’ll uncover one leg, and sheets come up to my chest.

</div>

I also have the air on ALL THE TIME! I sleep with the comforter either to the armpits, or all the way to the neck.
