The blanket, or the thermostat?


When it’s cold in your bedroom, do you prefer to turn up the thermostat or to crawl under your bed blankets? I want the wool blankets, some of them older than you are! The thermostat is okay, but nothing else rivals the comfort and satisfaction of crawling from a chilly Autumn environment into one of instant, soft warmth that you can easily modulate by pushing blankets off you or pulling them onto you and not having to haul your ass out of the bed to twist a knob on a machine; and, if a lover is in the bed with you, it is obviously “no contest.” I imagine that crawling under the sheets (or animal skins) is an atavistic pleasure dating back to the Stone Age. How about you?

Blankets. Cheaper option by far.

Blankets are cosier.

Blanket. Cozier that way.

I usually reach for the afghan blanket my grandmother made for me this time of year. It must have taken forever to make because it's enormous and surprisingly heavy, not to mention extremely warm. I have a November 1st rule for turning on the thermostat, but I'll occasionally run a space heater in my living room.

Yo momma keeps me warm at night.

That was perfect. 😃

I'm, like, so mature.

A bit of both. I put my heating on low, just to keep the chill off. Then snuggle under my blankets.

I'm in southern California so there's no thermostat but I love sleeping with all the windows open in the fall/winter and having a nice cool breeze flowing in while hiding under the bed sheets.

I hear you. I’ll crank up the AC to give me an excuse to hide under the covers. I hate a stuffy bedroom. We sleep so much better in the cool air.
