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

[BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz]

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.

Moths wait until you go to sleep before they drown themselves in your bedside glass of water.

Well moths in general are evil, the way they lull you into a false sense of security by fluttering around near the ceiling until you turn off the light then they come down to mug you.

Having had same problem with moths I always put a coaster over my water now.

I still need my 7.5 tog duvet. YANBU.

I bought one of those poundshop plastic beakers with a hole for a straw in the lid @Sostenueto.

@Lollee

You all sound bonkers. If people can sleep easier and cooler naked then that makes them normal and YOU abnormal. I just pray your comments are sarcasm or attempts at humour if not I can understand why we are all going to hell in a hand cart. Try being married to a real psychopath and you would not use the word so lightly for someone who prefers to sleep naked.

I think you’ve mislaid your sense of humour. It’s over there under the bed. The monster dragged it under, last night because you didn’t sleep under the monster proof covers! That’ll learn ya!

Real psychopaths of course sleep under the bed.

I have a water bottle with a lid. If the spiders evolve to open that then I think we have bigger problems

@HemulenHouse

Noooo...real psychopaths are awake under your bed and come out when you're sleeping (haven't you seen Luther?).

I am now all discombobulated. I never though there was anything wrong with sleeping open to the air. I now see the error of my ways...

This duvet only 3 tog and still too hot. Stayed at a B&B once for DS graduation it was sweltering and the duvet in the room we had must have been 20 togs or more never seen such a thick one it was like sleeping under a mattress. lol.

@Bettercallsaul1
Totally unreasonable behaviour, OP! I wouldn’t take this lying down.

Ah so you'd hang from the lampshade a'la vampire then huh ?

I have a silk sleeping bag liner which lives in my bedside table. It's perfect for hot nights. Although I do sleep naked, or with the duvet just covering my bum.

All this talk of different tog's for duvets has made me think ,
Just what is a tog ?
So i looked it up , and although this explains why we have tog's for clothing and it could be interpreted in to bed-clothing, it is not clear why we refer to the warmth of a blanket as a tog rating , unless its was from 'the more togs (clothes ) you have on the warmer you are.

Tog Began as Slang
The history of tog is a true rags-to-riches tale that begins with the slang of vagabonds and thieves—specifically, with the noun togeman, an old (and now obsolete) slang word meaning "cloak." By the early 18th century, the noun tog, a shortened form of togeman, was being used as a slang word for "coat," and before the century's end the plural form togs was being used to mean "clothing." The verb tog debuted shortly after togs and was immediately in style as a word for dressing up. You may be wondering if there's a connection between tog and toga, and if so, you are right on track. Togeman is believed to be derived in part from toga, which means "cloak" or "mantle" in Latin.

What do you think happens if you fall asleep without a cover

My cat bites my feet.

Obviously there are a variety of dangers. I'm not risking any of them.

I don't like to be covered when it's hot. But, without at least a sheet over you, you're susceptible to monsters. So I'm torn. 🤷

I was enjoying this thread until the spider comments. Now I'm going to have to sleep with a scarf wrapped round my head

These memes are 100% me

DH is night fishing tonight and I’m loving it. The prat uses a duvet all year round and is clearly hot under it as he thrashes and kicks and throws it half over me.

I’ve waited til he’s gone, put all fresh linen on the bed, ditched the duvet for my flat sheet (I keep one for heat too lol). As long as my torso and butt is covered I’m happy.

You absolutely need some sort of covering over your shoulder (and the rest) - he must be an alien or something

I’m only 20 and very pregnant with my first baby, I was worried about the responsibilities of motherhood and how to grow out of thinking I’ll get murdered if I sleep with my covers under me, I’m so glad I’ve read this thread 😂 30° in my room as per Groegg but I CANNOT and WILL NOT sleep with the covers anywhere but over my entire body 🤣

I'm in shorts and vest with the duvet bundled on top of me to chest height. DD is sprawled across 2/3 of my bed in a nappy and has kicked her blanket off. DS slept in shorts and had kicked his blanket off by the time I went to bed and checked on him. DH would be naked and no covers, but fell asleep on the sofa! I think my family are all psychopaths.

When I was pregnant and living in Australia with no air con, I used to put a wash on in the evening, then get a wet towel out the machine and lie it over the top of me. Instantly cooling, and the weight sent me to sleep.

Covers are bundled into the middle of the bed in case one of us gets the fear of monsters in the night. I’m ok with just an old short satin babydoll nightie covering my boobs/bum, however, I don’t allow my feet to hang off the edge of the bed as the monsters will grab them

Gravity blankets are the best!!! Heavy like a duvet but thin enough u don't overheat.

Very hot = just gravity blanket
All other temps = gravity blanket with duvet over the top
