I can't sleep unless i have a blanket covering me.

Even if it's burning hot I have to have something covering me to go to sleep. Especially my feet. I sleep on my side and it's also very comforting to have something pressed up against my back.

    I can't sleep unless I have a fan going or something making some noise. And I sleep on my side too and I have to be hugging a pillow. If I don't have two pillows, there's no way I'm sleeping.

      I'm the same way; I always need a blanket whether it's summer or winter. I have this feeling of being naked and unsafe when I don't cover myself.

    I MUST have a thick goose down quilt, goose down pillow and another one to hug on my right hand side as I lay on my right side. White noise on and socks on or there is NO sleep for me! I travel EVERYWHERE with my goose down brood and it embarrasses my husband. But he did not tell me until after we got married.

    I have to have a blanket up to my ear. I always sleep on my side. For some reason I always sleep easier with someone else in the room. This one's a little weird but I use earplugs to block out the silence? I think it might be because I'm always paranoid about loud noises. I've been paranoid about loud noises since I was little.

    The power that blankets and pillows wield. I am too the same way. Unless I'm in a room with someone, becuase I feel nothing can harm me if someone is their even if they are not the protective type. I sleep with a pillow at my back and I sometimes hold a pillow in my arms. In my case maybe it's a sign of loneliness. I feel that someone should be next to me and maybe I need someone to hold on to. Like some say it can be psychlogical.

    How funny me too, and I have to have my cat with me. Everytime shes not around I fell like something is watching and one time I felt like something was touching my head and I stood there awake felling it pet my head. I eventually had the guts to turn on the light and nothing was there so now I have to have my cat and I do slepp with a blanket even if its melting.

    Definitely normal. I sleep on my stomach, and what I do is cover myself head to toe with a small hole to breath out of. I have no idea why, but that's the only way I'll sleep. Oh yeah, it has to be pitch black as well, or else I'll stay up all night. There has to be a source of noise though, because silence creeps me out when I'm ready to go to sleep.

    I can't sleep at night unless there is a big warm comfy blanket covering my entire body. I have a king sized blue fleece blanket that is my favorite. My blanket doesn't just keep me warm while I'm sleeping it also comforts me and protects me. I absolutely cannot function without my big blue blanket covering me. It is so warm, soft, and beautiful.

    I'm the same way as all of you! And I thought I was soo weird for always needing a heavy blanket covering me. I'm relieved to see that I'm not freaky. I live in Las Vegas Nevada and it gets pretty darn hot here some nights and I still have to sleep with a heavy blanket! I used to just put the a/c on because my room gets pretty cold and it makes me less hot but my mom wont let me keep the a/c on anymore :( so I have to suffer with my blanket and sweat.

    I HAVE to sleep with a blanket on, no matter it is it 90 degrees. The blanket has to be covering my feet, ears and nose, lol. Since I was little, I've been scared that bugs will crawl up my nose or ears since I heard once in some fact show that we eat about 8 tiny spiders a night or something of the sort. It's funny how things affect you, and even in adulthood, you still acknowledge it subconsciously.

    I'm as weird as you are. I have to have something, even a thin sheet, covering me or I feel "naked". Also, I need three pillows to sleep, or at least to sleep comfortably. One under my head, one behind me to kind of lean on (I sleep on my side), and another in front of me to "cuddle".

  • haribo

    I am the same! For years I thought there was something wrong with me in the way that I just could not get to sleep unless I was covered up to my ears in a blanket or duvet. I told my best mate and she said that she was exactly the same. I researched it and it said that some people do it because they are scared, others do it because they have done since they were little and they can not get out of the habit!

  • CrimzonRayne

    Thank god someone else feels that way!
    I sleep a very specific way, and if I don't, regardless of HOW tired I am, I can't sleep! I need a pillow above my head, I sleep on my side, my arm has to be under the pillow and under my head, I have to have a pillow between my legs, and I have to have the covers bunched up under my arm and I prefer to have the blanket slightly covering my head, but it can't cover my face.
    I also have to have a fan going at all times, and not a ceiling fan, I mean one of those really noisy ones that sit on the ground and suck electricity.

    i dont think its weird, i actually have the same "problem". the only time i slept without a blanket was when i was like 7 and i got so sick that day that i missed school for a whole week. maybe it was all psychological but i've never done it again since.

      Normal. People tend to have very particular sleeping habits. When I was a small kid I was pretty terrified of the dark, and by the time I was six or seven I developed a very weird habit - I would have the duvet covering me completely with only a very tiny hole for breathing. I couldn't bear to have one inch of my body outside the blanket, convinced there were ghosts in the room. I was so scared actually that I would struggle to sleep and would instead imagine talking to ghosts, telling them how much I believed in them and how I thought they were ok and please don't do anything to me when I fall asleep etc etc.
      I'm not scared of the dark anymore but I still prefer to have only my head uncovered - even one toe poking out annoys me. Oh, and I really need a heavy duvet and preferably many heavy sheets so I can feel the weight, which I find comforting.
      Thanks for reading - that was a bit of a rant...

        A HEAVY duvet, especially over my feet, is crucial for me, too. Thus I always find sleeping away from home difficult, especially in hotels where blankets and duvets tend to be mega-light. Bless those who provide spare wollen blankets; but even then I have to place my suitcase on top to get the weight I need.
        Somewhere I read, that in order to prevent a hang-over the next day, you should stick out your feet from underneath your duvet. This definitely is NOT an option for me!

    More than just a blanket I must have the exact amount of blankets that equal a certain weight on top of me.
    It depends on the bed and the season but the thought of sleeping with just a sheet over me and no comforter or blanket actually makes me feel uncomfortable

  • ixxdgxxi

    Yeah, same here. If i don't have a blanket covering me it's just not happening. Also if my fan isn't on (even in the winter) i can't go to bed. There just needs to be something blocking all the other noise, like cars going by, someone in the household talking, and any other little distraction.
