Personally I prefer a cool room with thick, heavy blankets. Ideally not alone.
:eek: Really???
I like a warm room with thick heavy blankets. I can’t get to sleep unless I have a quilt/comforter and it’s over 70 degrees or so. The only big downside is that I wake up dehydrated from the sweating a lot.
It’s only been in the past 3-4 years that I’ve ever been able to sleep with nothing but a sheet (or nothing at all) covering me. I definitely like the pressure of at least a light blanket on me, preferably a relatively heavy one.
Of course, I can be utterly bundled up… and have my feet sticking out from under the covers. They seem to function as a bit of a thermostat.
I like either REALLY cold rooms w/ really warm blankets.
OR Cold rooms with light blankets.
The “roommate questionnaire” that my college sent out had two questions: What time do you like to go to bed? Do you prefer a cool room or a warm room? They used those two questions to match roommates and were remarkable effective.
This is mine as well. I said cold room/heavy blanket, but if it is just a little cool I often get down to a sheet with a leg sticking out.
Nowadays I almost always sleep with a fan blowing in my general direction, unless tempertures are truly frigid. Due to issues with my current window configuration ( very tall, swinging, push-out style ) which prevents an easily workable screen option that would exclude bugs and confine cats, I no longer sleep with an open window. But historically I’ve always preferred my head near one - I’d sleep outside if I wasn’t so found of soft, queen-size beds.
Cool room (62°F or less). Medium thickness blanket. Cold outside air blowing over my face. If my hair is too short I’ll wear a beanie. I sleep better when I’m breathing in cold air.
Cool room, sheet and thin blanket.
(also: naked, and next to my equally naked wife.)
Cool but not cold room, with a lovely heavy duvet on top. I quite like sticking my feet out as thermostats too!
Cool room with thick, heavy blankets.
I love blankets, not for the warmth but for the weight of them. I’d sleep with a quilt and two big blankets every night if I could. Unfortunately, nights can get pretty warm where I live, and I’ll end up kicking them off. When I got my air-conditioner I spent a few nights with it going full blast and blankets on the bed - it was great. But it’s a huge waste of electricity, so I had to stop. sigh At least I’ll always have winter.
i love winter … crack the window open a couple inches and have a huge fluffy comforter. I like to see my breath!
Poor mrAru is a california desert rat, he is perpetually freezing and to him snow is something you drive to for an afternoon of skiing.
[I loved visiting Bavaria a few years ago, I got to sleep with a window open and nobody whineing at me about being cold :D]
That’s a difficult one to answer because it depends on the time of year. And the room isn’ necesarily ‘cool’ or ‘warm’ it’s somewhere in between. I have a very narrow tollerance (while in bed) for temperature.
I will sometimes sleep with the blanket, but not over me. And then I’ll put it over me if the temperature drops by a degree or two.
I love the cold and I’ll sleep with the a/c on year round. I have a sheet and heavy comforter but I must sleep with my feet out.
I’m a 30 year old bulky male over 6 foot who’s also a scaredy little girly girl at night.
In other words, if my feet are sticking out I’m scared the nasty monster will grab them and take me somewhere unpleasant.
Cool room with a thin blanket. In winter, I have an electric mattress pad on low just to warm the sheets before I hop in.
As a person that hurts all over below 75F I prefer a warm room. I used to like a room at about 50F, but that isn’t happening any longer. I gave up camping because of this problem.
Warm room, because it’s easier to get up in the morning. I don’t care about the actual sleeping part, I’ll be asleep anyway.
Cool room. Heavy blankets. Pitch dark.
My wife has joked that she’s going to buy me one of those lead aprons you wear at the dentist’s when they take your x-rays to sleep under. That sounds good to me.
In the hot summer I CAN sleep in the air conditioned (set to ‘11’) bedroom, or I can doze off on my comfy couch, fan blowing cooler air in the window and my oscillating fan a few feet away. I have a very light fringed blankie made out of a gorgeous jacquard material to sleep under because I don’t like a fan blowing directly on me when I’m trying to fall asleep.
