I have been a wife and mother for over twenty years. Now I am becoming my husband's lover, too.
We owe it all to my fellow bloggers who gave me the courage to come out to my husband as a spanko.
I do feel like this is a New Beginning for us.

I want to know about your bedroom

I’m hot in the bedroom. And sadly I’m not talking about sexy, just hot. Even with the A/C running I’m nearly always hot in bed. In addition to the A/C we have the ceiling fan on and I have a fan on my nightstand that blows directly on me.  

Recently got one of those ‘chill’ pillows and that really helps. It’s not as cool as I’d like, but it helps. We also are trying some new bamboo sheets that are cooling. Do any of you get overheated in the bed (not in the good way) or am I the only one?

 

Here’s another question and I think I know the answer for those of us over forty, but if you have teenage to grow kids, would you ask them? Do you sleep with a top sheet? For me I would say, ‘Of course! Doesn’t everyone?’ Apparently not. 


Mollie doesn’t and now that I think about it she never has. I’d always put one on and she would always kick it to the bottom of the bed. But I saw the question asked on Facebook recently and tons and tons - mostly millennials don’t use one. They just use a light blanket.

 

And while I’m asking about your bedroom habits. How do you feel about animals sleeping in the bed. I don’t think I would like to share a bed with a dog, regardless of it’s size. 


But I’ve slept with a cat on the foot of the bed for more than forty years. Of course the one we have now can get a little pushy. As I’m getting ready for bed she claims my spot. I come in and move her to the foot, but I sure get a dirty look.

 

These are my bedroom questions. If you have more interesting things to report, please feel free.

  1. Hi PK,I wondered what you were going to ask when I read the title lol.

    I am always a cold fish so prefer the bed and bedroom to be warm, including using an electric blanket in the winter. I have always used a top sheet, but I know friends who just have a bottom sheet and duvet. I just couldn't lol. As for pets, in a former life I had 3 Siberian husky dogs who would climb up on the bed when we first went to bed, but it was quick cuddles then off. No way we were fighting 3 dogs for space lol. Cats yes, though they stayed on top of the bed rather than under the covers.

    Hugs

    1. I'd like the bedroom to stay about 60 degrees (15.5 C). That way I can cuddle right up to Nick all night. But since it's hot now, a light sheet is nice to have. I have always kept the cats on top of the covers.

    1. We it can stays around 90 degrees (32 C) and 95% humidity A/C is a must so I'm used to it. I didn't know weather men were allowed to lie! Shame on him.

  3. Hi PK. First off, like you I have fans all over the room and outside of it, pointing in! I go from HOT to cold. Only at ‘times’ it is so uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s a constant back and forth. Other times it’s freezing when I get in bed and then in middle of night I jog back and forth.
    We do have the dogs in our bed but they are tiny. I must say that in summer I’m more particular about them being on bottom of the bed because of ticks…..’shiver.’ In the winter they squish up to our body warmth.
    We always use a top sheet….. not sure about my kids……

    1. I'm too hot nearly all the time and menopause was over a long time ago so it's not that. Ask your kids sometimes and let me know. I've gotten curious now.

  4. UK is having warm weather lately and so it's hot in our bedroom (no A/C for us) We use a light duvet for summer but still warm. I have to have something over me, can't sleep with no cover.
    I wouldn't let a animal sleep on our bed.

    Love,
    Ronnie

    1. I like some cover too even when I'm hot - thus the fans. We looked up one place for a possible honeymoon so very long ago and you could get a cat to sleep with you - but you had to pay extra.

  5. Interesting topic! I sleep in undies and a very loose tank top. I don't mind having the ceiling fan on, or if there's a stand fan then it's got to be stationary on me and not rotating cos i hate that Wind / no wind / wind / no wind thing.

    I HAVE to have at least half of me covered cos my shirt tends to ride up so the blankie covers my belly.

    I don't like sleeping with the AC cos it's too cold for just a sheet but a comforter / duvet / quilt is too hot.

    I'm usually warm when I first get into bed (30 deg C here on average), but I cool off very quickly except on v hot nights. So usually the ac is on for about an hour before I go to bed. Then i shut it off and have the fan on with the sleep timer set to 3 hours. By 4 am I'm sleeping with no fan (and no AC).

    I'm not normal, I'm told. But I do prefer it when the air is very still.

    My blankie is very light in December / January and the rest of the year I use a flat sheet. (I suppose that would be the same as a top sheet...)

    1. I sleep nude with A/C and two fans, but a sheet and a light blanket. In the winter I get in bed freezing and curl up to Nick, but within 30 seconds I'm burning up and rolling away.

  6. oh thank goodness you asked! I thought it was just me! A/C, and fans.

    Yes, a top sheet is important. Ironically, my teenager does sleep with a top sheet, but I think she is the only one I know that does.

    The chill pillows work? I was looking at them and wondered.

    Hugs

    1. I've used two kinds of chill pillows. One I slipped the 'chill pad' into the pillow case on top of the pillow - it worked almost too well. But it was great in the summer. Now it's just built into the pillow and it is nice but not quite as good as the pad. I asked LJ and he and Collin do sleep with a top sheet.

  7. We have a fan on in the bedroom to keep it cool. We have A/C, but it's still hot on the upper level where the bedrooms are.

    We have top and bottom sheets, and a light blanket.

    Our dogs (short-haired toy breed) always slept under the covers with us, one on each side of me. That way, if they needed to go out, we would know immediately and get up with them. Now that we are temporarily dogless, Ron and I can snuggle for the first time in ten years.

    Hugs,

    1. Having the cat on the foot of the bed does let us cuddle and I like that, but sometimes she does creep and make it difficult. So I understand the problem.

  8. PK,
    The only animal I sleep with is a hairy one named Storm. We have a bird and he does not want to sleep with us and the feeling is mutual. And we have a rabbit who needs her liter box and would eat our sheets, so no on that one as well!

    Yes, we have a top sheet, but Storm uses it and keeps it on his side. I keep the blanket on my side. So he is a hottie.

    :) I sleep with the fan on since I was young, but not directed at me. I have to have white noise to fall asleep, so we use it as that. I don't get hot at night usually if the air is on. Actually, my feet get FREEZING cold and Storm lets me put them on his hairy legs to warm up. :) Windy

    1. Your choice of the animal you sleep with is a good one, much better than the bird! I've heard a lot of people who need the white noise - I just want the cool. Glad you have hairy legs available for warming your feet.
