Poll Do You Sleep With Alot Of Covers?

[linasmom]

Curious - does anyone else sleep with tons of covers on their bed no matter the temperature outside?

I have a theory that I love tons of covers because they allow me to feel like a little child wrapped tightly in a blanket, nice and safe. I have my down comforter on my bed no matter the temp outside along with the sheet, another soft blanket and 4 super soft throws.

I always have to have covers, even when it's really hot (and I DON'T have air conditioning). For me, I think it has to do with feeling vulerable when my body is exposed, even if I'm wearing my jammies.

Yes, I have a nest also. Flannel sheets, 2 blankets and a comforter on me, over my head, and two cats laying on me for extra weight. I like to feel cocooned.

No for me.... If its hot, sheet or no sheet even, cold just a sheet and quilt typically.

Yes, most of the time I'm cold and require a sheet and one or two covers on top of that. If I am hot I usually still need at least a sheet or else I feel like its not really bed time and can't sleep as well.

When I was a kid my parents tended to keep the house temperature lower at night to save heating costs. I guess I just got used to doing it that way.

Definitely yes! Regardless of temperature.

To comfortably fall asleep, I have to have my comforter over my exposed ear. It is like a security blanket.

I like the reference to it being "a nest"-a cocoon-safe

I voted no cause I don't need a lot. But I do have to have something covering me in order to feel safe.

I sleep with as many pounds of blankets as possible, even in 90 degree weather. The weight makes me feel safer.

It is a weight issue with me also. If it is hot, I still have a sheet, blanket and comforter. Can't sleep without it!

If I'm in bed, I have to sleep with a sheet and a blanket/comforter most of the time. But I've been known on occasion to fall asleep just about any where with out. I can nap almost any where/any time.

I voted YES! Always have been that way. I always thought it was my poor blood circulation cuz my feet and hands are always cold!

Interesting. My autistic daughter (who also has PTSD) and autistic grandson both need heavy covers when sleeping. As we are now in the tropics, daughter has special weighted covers which are heavy however not hot. Also both daughter and grandson wear weighted vests when needed, to stay calm and focused. Grounds them apparently, helps with sensory integration issues. Makes them more aware of their bodies in general. One wonders if it would help some PTSDs as well - especially those with dissociation problems. Jim.
