If it's too hot, I use a sheet. I think the explanation is pretty simple: crawly things that may come and bite us.
I guess I'm one of those weirdos that doesn't. I get hot really easily, so unless the sheets are really light cotton, I roast. Oddly enough, though, I love heated mattress pads. I can crank it up to 10 and sleep without sheets just fine. Something relevant: does anybody have suggestions for weighted blankets? My SO is into big, heavy comforters and other bed coverings (no idea what they're called) and she'd probably…

My partner made me a 15 pound weighted blanket for Christmas and I love it. It's very cozy and feels nice. She made it out of light materials so it can breathe and be used in the Summer.
Do people really sleep under blankets on nights >20C? I don't, despite the 'history of bedding'.
In Sydney 30 degree C nights? No blankie.
My guess is that the warm and snug feeling of behind under a blanket evokes the womb. Same idea for white noise while sleeping.
"I’m very suspicious of anyone who implies that this goes back to the feeling of being in the womb,” she says. “I think that’s very far-fetched.”
It’s an interesting question, and could have imagined people sharing their beds with pets, but with livestock? Is funny. I personally have sleeping problems in rooms that are too warm, and warm blankets don't help. It's not when going to bed but a few hours in - around REM time? I wake up panicking as if I'm suffocating. That's why I always sleep with the window open, also when it freezes on the winter. My SO is not…
Is there a name for this? It doesn't seem normal and I'm dreading it come summer in a city with no AC...

I keep my house at around 22c during the Winter. I'll match a light sheet with a light blanket at that point as it gets chillier randomly during the season.
I dislike air currents flowing across my skin while I'm trying to sleep, unless it's crazy hot (the central air system moving air around is enough to annoy me while I'm trying to sleep, without a cover).
Come to Hawaii in the summer. Not in a hotel, just in a normal apartment like a normal person. You'll ditch any covers whatsoever.
