The first thing I do in a motel room is throw the comforter on the floor. They do not wash it.
Lol! ... Sounds like the voice of experience.
Because kitty will pounce on anything that moves underneath the covers. ;-)
Golly, we must be twins!
I am exactly the same..gotta have that fan, gotta have them feet out and I could NEVER sleep with socks on... I’d have to pass out to be asleep with socks on.
What’s this ‘sleep’ you’re talking about?

Worcestershire sauce?
Hubby tucks the sheets and blanket tightly under the mattress.
It’s like sleeping in a strait jacket.
See #27.

Have you ever punched or kicked him while sleeping?
Our family doctor back then (late 50's) said, in general, hungry = healthy and I stayed in good health.
To this day I still enjoy sleeping extra cool. Standing order: "turn the A.C. cooler and hand me another blanket."
No trouble trying to fall asleep when you're more anxious about getting warm.
in general, hungry = healthy
Scientist who study longevity report that the key to long life is Cold + Hungry. Apparently, cells that are seeking heat and nourishment remain more flexible, thus, healthier longer.
I sleep the European way, with a duvet that can allow ones feet to breathe.
Us, too.
When I buy new sheets, I buy an extra top sheet to match the set. I sew the two top sheets together on three sides, and add buttons and buttonholes to the fourth side. This becomes the duvet cover.
I put our duvet inside the cover, and we sleep with the bottom sheet, duvet in the cover, and that is it. We have a heavy feather duvet for winter and a light wool-filled duvet for summer.
I change the covers when I wash the sheets. I don't understand the American way at all.
For your safety, please keep your hands and feet inside the bed at all times.
I’m sorry, but any time I hear someone use “hack” in these terms, it just sounds so low information, idiot Millenial who can barely do anything for themselves. (And voted for Obama twice, live at home at their parents, and can’t understand why they dont have a job, and why Obamacare is not free, etc.)
"Now I lay me dow to sleep,
I pray the Lord, my soul, to keep,
If I should die before I wake...wait...what?"
“That makes no sense. How do you keep the monster under your bed from eating your foot?”
***************************************************************************************
Yes, the monster under my bed is the reason IT IS IMPERATIVE TO KEEP THE OTHER LEG/FOOT UNDER THE COVERS. That other leg being UNDER the covers serves as an “anchor” to keep the monster from dragging me out of bed using the exposed foot and devouring me.
This is a truth I learned as a small child and have never forgotten it.
I think the expert is ignoring male/female differences. A study that I read about many, many years ago compared the physiological responses of men and women to cold temperatures. The data indicated that a man’s body temperature will become lower overall, whereas a woman’s
hands and feet will become cold first before the rest of her body will become colder.
The first thing I do in a hotel room is spray and wipe with disinfectant.
