Summer: Sheet, either just on my feet, all the way up to my chin, or various points between Winter: Sheet and comforter, all the way up to my chin, with my feet wrapped up in a section from the corner of the comforter All seasons: that\_darn\_cat ---

My sleeping habits are rather erratic, but when I’m in sleep-wherever-I-drop mode, I usually wear shorts. I always keep it nice and cool in my place, and the shorts prevent the 'nads from freezing off if I wind up on the couch, beanbag, or floor. I only sleep nude in the bed, and I usually go full head-to-toe cocoon with a sheet. I like sleeping in small, enclosed places. If I get too warm, I poke a foot out of the bottom of the cocoon. ---

I sleep naked, but covered all the way up with stuffed animals. ---

I curl up and pull the blankets up to my chin. If it’s REALLY hot, I just deal; I’m not comfortable any other way. Besides, I’ve shared a room with my younger brother for about 15 years when at home (the answer to the question on your minds now is “bathrobe”). ---

Usually just a sheet maybe a light blanket if it’s cold pulled up pit high. I have a fan year 'round though. Since I have central it’s usually consistent at about 75d.F. So all you folks are sleeping nekkid too? 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CalMeacham \* > \*\*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. \*\* Gah, aren’t Mushroom People the worst? I was cornered in a dark alley by a gang of them one time. I generally sleep with a blanket covering feet to chest and I can’t sleep in a room that has absolutely no air moving through it so I always keep a ceiling fan on. My cats seem to think that the blanket touching the bed between my legs is the perfect kitty sofa. Or if I’m curled up on my side they’ll sleep on my feet or hip. So yeah, I’m basically covered in pussy when I sleep but it’s not as much fun as you’d think. ---

Covered up to my neck, with my arms over and my feet sticking out, usually. If it’s Too Damn Hot, I’ll have just a sheet on, with my legs sticking out. The cat sleeps on the side of the bed away from the wall, usually tucked into my back or knees (I sleep with my knees bent, usually), thus effectively preventing me from getting up without disturbing her. ---

That’s funny, **Balance** , I’ll often do the same ‘one foot out’ trick if I’m too warm. ---

Took a while getting used to. \*\* I’m in London and we still have hot weather here. Last few days the temperature peaked at about 25c. I sleep on my side, windows open with a lightweight duvet up to my chest, arm sticking out. I invariably wake up with pillows on the floor, duvet in a mess! ---

There are people who cover thier _feet_ when they sleep? What’s this world coming to? ---

As with so many others, it depends on how hot it is. I always have at least one sheet over me, more if I start getting too cold. Before I had central air, I’d make a tent out of two sheets and a couple of box fans. I still do if the A/C goes out. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by welby \* > \*\*There are people who cover thier _feet_ when they sleep? \*\* I don’t know about everyone else but my legs tend to cramp up when my feet get too cold. ---

**Cervaise** , you’re polishing the brass on the Titanic, man! It’s all going down! I do the foot thing too. But I’m an erratic nude-sleeper, I frequently wear shorts. ---

If ya slept next to me, welby, you’d want my feet to be as cozy as possible. My feet turn into ice cubes when uncovered, even in summertime. ---

That’s okay, **moi** , your feet and my feet will like each other fine. ---
