    I chose "other" because there is always at least one dog and one or two cats. We share the nest with a sheet and a light flannel cover to begin with, then - who knows? By morning it's anyones guess It's funny but sometimes if I waken in the middle of the night I find myself having to schooch up the top of the bed so I don't disturb the critters lying on either side of me

    Just a sheet for me too. We set the a/c at a much higher temperature at night than during the day to save money. If it is REALLY hot the dogs don't even want to sleep next to me!

    Bill Cosby once mentioned the need to sleep with a sheet in one of his comedy routines. He said with him it dates back to his childhood and the childhood fear of monsters. He felt that if he was under a sheet it provided protection. I always remembered this because I sort of felt the same way when I was little. My sheet was good protection from things that go bump in the night.

    I'm the same. I like a cotton sheet at least over some of me as protection against any axe-murders that happen to be loose in my house.

    Just a light blanket/quilt and Frisk. He gives off plenty of warmth, but our house always stays cool during the summer.

    I have my quilt, and I usually use it because its cold in my room.

    I like it cold with a lot of blankets. With the air conditioning on and the ceiling fan going I always sleep under the sheet, quilt, a down throw, and a microfiber throw. It's actually not the warmth of the blankets that I like, it's the weight of them.

    If the power is out in the summer and it's really hot I still sleep under a sheet. I have to have something over me.

    just a sheet. Beanie keeps me warm. i say he keeps me warm because i leave my window unit on all night for the sibes. it's right over my bed so it blows right on me. i'd much rather be freezing that have Gracie or Ocean be uncomfortable.

    I only have one blanket on my bed unless I'm cold, then I get a fleece blanket. I use a fan with the comforter-like blanket durring the summer.

    I have to sleep at least partially covered and I prefer the fabric to be lightweight & similar to a sheet material. I have a thin light weight sheet type comforter that I somethimes use, if not I use a sheet.

    Thank God for Central Air Conditioning!!!

    First off, the quilted bedspread is cast aside, !!!!!
    over head fan is whirling!!!!!! (just installed a new one!!! )

    cotton sheets, top sheet with a thin cotton quilt!! (homemade of course)

    Turning the pillow over and hanging a leg out once in awhile helps!!!
