          My comment was tongue in cheek. Solar and AC are a good combo.

          I’d argue there’s still a energy+climate reckoning coming where energy won’t be as abundant as it has been and high energy use activities (like AC) will be more challenging. the EROEI (Energy Return on Energy Invested) of renewables/low-carbon are much lower than peak fossil fuels.

          Incidentally I’m the same as you I’m so socialised on sleeping under something I do it regardless of temperature

    The opposite, I always sleep with blanket on even if I don’t want to. In summer I fall asleep with blanket on my side and wake up fully covered in blanket. And sweating like a pig

      I have a kkitted blanket my grandmother gave me many years ago with large holes in it I use for this. It provides the weight with very little warmth. Perfect thing

          Yeah that’s it lol I haven’t slept tonight and it’s 6am so I’m running on the thought of fumes at this point. I’m shocked I’m this coherent

    Blanket is how I get to sleep. I need it. I wish there was a cold blanket for these stupid hot summers. Edit: and yet I can nap fully clothes, on top the blankets, in the afternoon (if I’m super exhausted). So maybe I could condition myself out of this? But I’m not willing to risk my sleep on experiments).

      I sometimes sleep with the thing you put around a blanket (I’m not sure what the right word for it is in English)

        The phrase you are after is “Duvet cover.” A blanket is technically just a single layer of fabric, a quilt is several layers and a Duvet is 2 layers with stuffing. Calling any/all of them “blankets” is normal… until you have to put the cover on.

    I absolutely can’t sleep without a blanket, but my eight year old sleeps with no blanket and no pillow. Just a couple of stuffed animals in his bed.

    I have to have covers, absolutely hate my back being uncovered if nothing else. Some sort of blanket or sheet is essential to get to sleep.

    I need a blanket to sleep and I usually sleep on my side. When it’s hot I put the lower half between my legs to prevent them sticking together and one corner of the upper half covers my torso the other corner is between my shoulder and face (I rarely use my pillow). It’s more of a ‘hugging the blanket’ than a ‘being covered by it’ situation.

    If it’s too hot. Unless it’s actually frigid in my room, I also tend to kick the blanket off at some point during the night.

    Summer, deff (its 42C out in the day).

    Winters? Hell no. I was raised by the ocean, so used to very mild climates. Now I live at the base of hills.

    On one hand, love all the green, rain and cool temps come spring and autumn. But 0C winter cold? Im a walking cloth hill, nightly buried in comforters.
