I thought when I was young that I was protecting my neck from the breath of the vampire; but perhaps it was a monster I wasn't willing to acknowledge.

I LOVE the covers piled on. My husband says I'm a furnace.

Heh -- I'm one of the "pile on the covers!" folks...except in summer. I can finally sleep feeling safe under just a sheet...as long as my husband is there beside me. On any cool/cold night, I'll have at least three covers on me; G. might have one. He's a man-furnace and I'm a wee thing who gets cold so easily. Either way, we have our bedroom window open -- even a crack during the coldest months.
 
I used to, seeing that I had been sexually assaulted. I was terrified of sleeping without a lot to protect me.

Then last fall I was blessed with some excellent advice from both my mother and a local friend- get a restraining order. I thought that because of my last conviction that it'd be good money down the toilet trying that. Well, I was wrong. The mental effect that had was astounding. After I got out of jail I was terrified of going camping. I'm not sure how I'll do this year. Maybe it'll be better, maybe not. But now I can sleep semi-comfortably. I still have horrendous nightmares, but nothing I cover myself with will help that. But, unlike before, if I don't have nightmares, I can at least sleep comfortably. Just pray for no nightmares!
 
Curious - does anyone else sleep with tons of covers on their bed no matter the temperature outside?
Hi- Interesting. I have few or no blankets. Less feels better because I need to be able to react to defend myself and not be confined by blankets. I do sound weird. Smile. I'm working hard on this.
Sleep well
 
I really like to have a heavy cover. I even have this 3xl thick robe i carry around the house it comforts me and at night i sleep with that in a ball and my teddy with 1 sheet and this like3in thick comforter. Hmmm maybe that's how they got the name comforter, because they're comforting!!
 
Have to have a ton of covers on me when I am sleeping. I think it has to do with feeling safe & secure.
 
I like a heavy quilt. I like weight but not bulk. Feet must be covered and wrapped under. I feel "naked" if they are exposed.
 
I said no (if I sleep at all that is). If it's cold, I'll get a blanket or 2, beef up a bit on what I'm wearing. But if it's hot, I usually don't use any covers, maybe 1.
 
I have a feather comforter and a feather bed that I use on top of the comforter. But today is boiling hot and I took a nap without the feather bed on top.

I love heavy bedding. It feels cozy and perfect and safe.
