ysobelOne of the annoying things about my bed setup is that I can't add or remove anything (without waking up my roommate). The only change I can make is a remote-controlled fan that I can turn on or off. I can't even move blankets or sheets -- I have no kicking ability, and I can't really pull anything up or down.
Summer sleeping arrangement: Nightshirt, required because the slingstuff under me is not the most comfortable to be lying against all night. Non-flannel sheet, pulled up to waist height. Fan is frequently in use, but it's one of those things where if it's hitting my skin I'm cold and if it's not I'm too hot. If my hands get cold I can tuck them under the edge of the sheet.
Winter sleeping arrangement: Nightshirt. Sheet, preferably flannel, pulled up to top of chest; my arms come out the sides, and the top of the sheet fans out over upper arms as well as chest. Blanket to waist height, folded in half or sometimes quarters, heavy and solid and usually fuzzy-soft and pettable. Fan sometimes in use for short periods. Handmade wrist warmers on hands, fingerless to allow iPad interaction. If cold enough, things that are technically leg warmers go on my arms.
I love winter *so much more* omg. Largely for tactile reasons. I love the weight of the blanket. I love the *feel* of the blanket under my fingers. I love the cocoon feel of being as covered as possible.
It has finally gotten cold enough overnight to switch to winter arrangement. Most of you would laugh at what I call cold (it is California cold; lows right now are 40-50F, which is about 4-10C, and that's outside, not inside). But it is finally at the point where I will not overheat with blankets on, and I am so very happy.
