Blankets and sheets also protect from ghost, witches, monsters from under the bed... ask any child, if you're under something that hides you (or that you cant't look at), automatically you won't be found. Things that you can't look at can't look at you, too.

We have a common saying for this in Turkish. When somebody feels hot and insists on sleeping without something covering them, we say something like "it snows on a sleeper at night, you better take this on you" and hand them a minimal sheet to sleep under.

It's a weight thing for me, and not a warmth thing. I crave the feeling of something on me when I'm sleeping. Probably a sense of security. I've been on the eternal hunt for something heavy weight, and low heat. Currently using 3 x varying weights of knit cotton blankets, and does the job.
