Blankie

I realized during some hot evening this summer that I still have a security blanket of sorts. Even if it's 85 degrees in the house, I still need a sheet to pull over me when I go to sleep.

I think in college my "security blanket" was a certain jacket that I wore everywhere in the winter. I used to sleep in various lounges and on various furniture all around campus, and the fleece jacket provided a cozy feeling in public places.

I, too, need to pull the cover of a sheet over me in the summer. Otherwise, I have difficulty going to sleep.

Me too. Weird. Maybe its like how cats and many other animals like corners and under furniture because you feel vulnerable when you sleep. It isn't really rational but maybe just instinctual to want to be covered? I also like the feeling of being cozy. When it's hot out I want the A/C low enough at night that I can snuggle under a blanket. So wasteful, but so wonderful!
