I can only sleep in a fairly narrow temperature range, basically from 70 to 75 degrees. If it's colder, I can throw on a heavier blanket/comforter. If it's hotter, I'm kind of screwed. | |||

Plowing straight ahead come what may |
I live for that period when it's cool enough to sleep with the window open...spring or fall...I always sleep better at cooler temps and a ceiling fan on low...during the winter the heat is set on 65 degrees.

"You can always get warmer, you can't get cooler" I prefer cool to cold, light cover (sheet), airflow (outside or fan), and a rock hard surface. That right there is what dreams are made of. | |||

I have never had to sleep with a wife, but I have slept with many girlfriends. If the bed gets uncomfortable I just retire to the old green cot. It meets the three requirements: 1) It is a firm comfortable sleeping surface. 2) It is above ground. 3) You do not get awoken by the movements of others If you follow these three requirements you will always sleep well. | |||

Under blankets but the house has to be 70 degrees or cooler. Regardless of how much sleep I never feel rested. | |||

The cooler the better, I had getting into bed and being hot and sticky, it just sucks. I always turn the A/C down a few degrees before bedtime just to be sure it's nice and cool. | |||

66 degrees or less, colder the better, with a feather comforter and no top sheet. In the buff of course ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

Troop 22 Whitman, MA I always loved the cold but fell in love at mountain warefare in the USMC. Bridgeport CA. Nothing puts you to sleep like a hard bed (off the ground), a cold breeze, and the squirrels chirping. Of course sometime the significant others don't understand why you ababdoned their bed for a cot in the living room with Gladiator on the TV... | |||

I sleep better in cool/cold conditions, provided I am under my old style patch quilts. My bedroom at home was not heated. As a result, I had 3 layers of the old heavy quilts on my bed to keep me warm. I grew used to having a lot of weight on me when I slept, that has carried over today, comforters, and flannel quilts just don't cut it. 美しい犬 | |||

Too clever by half |
The bed can be warmish, but room itself needs to be cool. I am prone to night sweats if the room is much over 70. I hate waking up dripping wet, and having to change the sheets. That's a poor night's sleep. "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

No A/C. If necessary, circulating air. Window open in summer, necessary. 1 leg out, light blanket in winter. Sheet in summer. __________________________ "Trust, but verify." | |||

I attended a seminar given by Dr. Jarrod Spencer, a sports psychologist who has worked with athletes from a number of colleges and universities including the University of Maryland, Old Dominion University, Lehigh University and others. At one point he rhetorically asked, "Do you ever wonder why hotels set their guest rooms so cold?" The answer he gave was that the body sleeps best when the ambient temperature is 63°F! Yes, you have blankets and other covers, but the best sleep occurs when the room temperature is much lower than you'd expect. When I was a college student in Munich, Germany, I would routinely leave a window open in the heart of the Bavarian winter to prevent my room from getting overheated. You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

That was my first response. I voted for #1, but in reality I don't like it either way. I keep my house at 70°F morning and night, all year long. I sleep in a lounge chair, often fully clothed, and sometimes have a very light blanket over my bare arms (the air handler makes a draft). I usually have from 1 to 3 cats sleeping on me, as well. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
