Yes, I've always been the same too.
In the summer my wife can sleep with no covers and always comments on my need to have a sheet - even if it's really thin.

Even if it's a thin blanket, like a sheet, I need to fall asleep with at least one blanket on me. Nothing on me, and I feel exposed and insecure. Why is this? Does this happen with anyone else?
This is especially hard during the summer, when I'm sleeping with my thick duvet and no other covers... T_T
I wake up and feel like I was swimming in a pool the whole night. Ew.

i called fall asleep with my neck super exposed, like im looking over my shoulder.
childhood fear of vampires lol.
if i want to lay like that i have to cover my neck with my sheets or else i cant do it.
Me too.
The weight of a blanket, or sheet upon my body is a comforting experience, which helps me to sleep. Probably a carryover feeling from early childhood.
It's summer now here, and it gets really hot at night. So I sleep in my boxers, use a thin sheet, and turn on a fan. The fan makes me cold pretty quickly, so I feel comfortably warm under the sheet.

I would have to be extremely tired to sleep without a blanket. I just like the warmth and cosyness.

Well, it sounds like pretty much everyone here needs to sleep with a blanket, myself included. I wonder why that is.

For me, I think it's not as much as a childhood thing, but more of a security thing. I sleep on my stomach with my arms at my sides, so my neck is really exposed. I especially like to have covers around my neck.

I usually sleep on my right side because the wall's on my left, and when I was little I thought something would come and attack me if I wasn't looking.
I've also noticed that if I ever do sleep without a blanket, after awhile it starts to feel like there is one. Then I move and it goes away. It's a bit strange.

I'm the same way...even in the summer I need to at least have a sheet over me, and maybe a body pillow or small pillow if my back isn't to the wall. When I was a kid I always had to share my room with my sister, so by the time she moved out, I had a hard time sleeping without the illusion of security, like a pillow/blanket barrier. xD

yea me to, even in hot summer nights. It just doesn't feel right with nothing covering me.

I noticed if there is a light on when I'm trying to fall asleep I get to the point where I'm almost asleep but then it's like I twitch or something. Just like a weird, jolt that wakes me up again. I can fall alseep with the tv as long as it's not in my bedroom. I think it's the change in brightness that does it.
As for blankets, I'm sort of the same way. If I'm sleeping on a couch then not so much but in bed I need blankets. I think this may have to do with my brain telling me "Something is wrong, beds need blankets."

I agree. Unless I am taking a nap in the car, which is so RARE.
I need at least a sheet, though I have about the same number of blankets on in the summer as the winter, I sleep in my room in the basement, so it's always the same temperature. Yay, I never get super hot in my room in the summer! Plus, it's always like in the 60s on summer nights here anyway.

I always sleep with a blanket or at least something covering my body, because if i don't it gets cold. And if I sleep when it's cold I'll surely fall ill the next day.
