AIBU?

To think even on a hot night it's absurd to sleep with no covering?

Dh is snoring away, on top of the sheet we are using on the bed on this roasting night.

It's discombobulating. Clearly the man is a psychopath.

I sleep naked but have to have my bum covered. Boobs out no problem... bum, nope.

I've never had a hot flush and am rarely too hot. Long live hot weather!

Here here!
My favorite time of year is a Aussie heatwave.

Feet must be covered to sleep, no ifs or buts

I'm not alone in needing my neck covered! I tuck a corner under my shoulder to stop DH stealing it all. I need it across my neck and the other shoulder too but that's it.

I have the top corner of the duvet stretched over my middle in a sort of triangle. I'm not worried about my legs being attacked i can do without those at a push but my chest and head feel a bit exposed to the mercies of the unknown.

Same. DH can sleep with nothing. As long as I have a sheet of duvet cover covering hips to shin I'll sleep. Sleeping with zero coverings. Gad no! Never. I say that as a Scottish person complaining I'm too Scottish for these temps!

I need something over me or I'd spend all night detaching the cat from my feet. Monsters wouldn't stand a chance 😂😂

I keep a spray bottle near the bed and have a good spray to cool down. Lovely.

Only weird people sleep without a duvet. I can be in 40 degree heat and still need one.

It’s no more than 20 degrees across most of the UK right now, surely. Where I am it is 18 degrees but I’m rolling around on the weather app and I can’t see anything more than “feels like 20”.

That’s “maybe take a cardigan just in case” weather. I can’t understand the angst. That day last year it topped 38 degrees and I was in a youth hostel dorm in central London, on the other hand..... How many would change their mind about the duvet in a dorm room?

I sleep naked with pants (no pants is too naked).
I just have a sheet at the moment and this prevents Dracula, specifically nosferatu, coming and getting me.

I intend to sleep naked with no covers tonight. My bedroom is like the inside of an oven. If the monsters cart me away it will be a relief at this point.

Brrr! it's freezing tonight - I need a hot water bottle, once I've put on my fluffy bedsocks.

I'm a weirdo. No duvet only thing on me is wrung out cold small towel to try to help keep myself cool. I have the window wide open and 3 fans. The duvet can fuck off tonight. I just have to hope that the demons dont arrive.

I could start off under the covers, but frequently find I have chucked all the covers off in my sleep.

My DH is the same. Right now he's asleep with no cover. He's one of those irritating 'asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow' types too. I'll be laid awake under my duvet with an industrial sized fan pointed directly at my face all night and I'll fall asleep roughly 4 minutes before my alarm goes off.

Very weird. It is definitely not normal to sleep uncovered.
I read something recently that said that sleeping naked makes you hotter anyway as clothing wicks away sweat and cools you. Sheets obviously do the same as well as protecting from vampires, and more importantly, moths.
Though I am feeling a bit left out as it isn't even that warm here. I've got full length PJs on, a winter weight duvet, the windows aren't even open and I'm not too hot. Sad

I have a duvet AND a weighted blanket. Do have Lupus and Fibromyalgia so the blanket is to help with it. But couldn't not have the Duvet too.
