... or have you guys ever heard of some kind of fear/problem where people can't sleep without a blanket? It's kindof starting to be a problem with me, considering it's summer & everybody in my house wanted to turn the air-conditioning down. It's weird to describe, but when I have a sheet over me I feel to naked. I can only really sleep when I'm under heavy blankets. Funny thing is, I never realized it until one day when my friend and I had a sleep over like last year. She told me that she was too hot, so I told her to take the blankets off & she said that she couldn't sleep without blankets. I don't know what it is, but it's like a fear of something happening to me while I'm asleep. It's hard for me to even stick my leg out.

So, have you heard this and/or unconsciously have it happen to you?

I think I had that when I was a little kid back then and I was always afraid of something when I don't have the blanket on. sweatdrop

Yeahh I think it may be a common childhood fear that I just haven't grown out of. I have random fears like that. D:
To be honest, I was scared of the dark before I started taking sleeping pills. x.x
I sound like a messed up person, don't I? D:

Nope, because there are some people who cannot sleep without a blanket even if it wasn't a childhood problem there could be something like that happening along the lines.

Well, I believe that it's because one would be sleeping with a heavy blanket during most of the year, about 3/4s due to the coldness of Fall and Winter and then some of it from Spring. And that without it during the Summer, you sort of feel the lightest and the flowing air under a lighter blanket or no blanket at all.

But, that's what I think.

Hmmm.. I haven't heard of anything like that before, although I think it's possible. Even in the heat of summer, after you fall asleep, your body temperature cools down (sleep regulates and slows down many bodily processes) so that you no longer feel all that hot. Later, your room/house cools down with the night, you may start feeling cold and need something to keep you warm. I guess if you're too cool your brain will signal you to wake up and get a blanket! mrgreen

Hm, personally, I don't like to have a lot of blankets, 'cause it is so friggin' hot here. But, the thing with me is, I can't sleep without the sound of a box fan. I dunno why, but when a house is completely silent, I can't sleep. I can try all I want, I just can't pass out. I went over to a friend's house a week ago to sleep over, and I stayed up all night 'cause I couldn't fall asleep. Pissed me off when he got up and was wondering why the hell my eyes had huge rings under them. And it REALLY sucked when the power was off for three days from an ice storm.

Yess, Im kind of that way too. But in the night I end up kicking my blankets off while I'm sleeping. ((Though that's kinda cause one of my bedrooms is in a huge walk in closet andit gets a little warm in there)) o:

I've heard of it but it doesn't bother me.

during the winter i need like 5 blankets on me which i cacoon myself in while a sleep. in the summer i use one sheet or thin blanket and half of the times that gets kicked off in the middle of the night same with the sheet that hugs the mattress for some reason.
