I voted no but I can't sleep without my quilt (100% cotton and home made) . You could say it's my security blanket. I've found so much comfort in it, that I've become a quilter and give them to people I care about. Sometimes I get compulsive about making them, but it brings me peace and hopefully brings peace to those whoo rest under them.
 
In the summer I might have only a light blanket. I cannot stand a sleeping bag. Have to have it un zipped and just cover me with it instead.
 
No for me. Even in hotels, I have to undo the covers, don't like being confined. One top sheet or comforter depending upon weather and that's it.
 
When it's warm I use a thin sheet partly because I always think if there any flies about they will bite me to bits if not covered sounds stupid just way I am. Also feel exposed without sheet guess it's comfort thing.
 
I have to be covered up with at least a sheet to at least get what little sleep I get but I also have to cuddle up to the big comforter all night unless someone I feel safe with is hold him close.
 
I sleep with little to no covers feel less trapped than. I have a throw that my baby girl gave me and only use that when I want to hide.
 
I voted yes. Even though I live in a very warm, humid climate I stand up and truly cocoon myself in a sheet and soft blanket wrapping it around and around my body (leaving my arms out) Then I flop into the bed and wrap myself in my large heavy comforter with my arms and back of my head inside this layer. I also have to have tons of huge pillows surrounding me--often even on top of my body. I prefer to be in the middle of the bed as opposed to the side. Like others here I am hiding from everything and everyone and protecting myself; but I also feel like I am trying to make it so I can't move--to keep me from having any movement. I don't know where this part comes from-maybe the "if I don't move they won't see me" approach? It isn't consciously to avoid this, but when I have nightmares, which is most nights, I wake up with scratches and bruises and often with the entire bed stripped. Who knows what the heck goes on. Most unpleasant.
 
I have a hard time sleeping with alot of covers. I feel like I am suffocating. I have been like that since a child. I had to have one leg out of the covers or I couldn't catch my breath. It makes it hard in the winter because I am freezing, but if I put the blankets on I have a panic attack and get very hot. It isn't easy.
