Poll question: feet: out or under?

Do you sleep with your feet fully covered, or with one foot or both feet hanging out? Can you fall asleep any other way?

Me, I feel like I'm suffocating if my feet are covered. How about you?

3. Everyone knows covering your head doesn't work against monsters
UNLESS the feet are also covered.

11. Damn skippy. You have to make a protective seal
with the covers. They'll come in through any loose bit they find.

4. I get very cold when I sleep
Flannel sheets, blankets, flannel PJs, socks, the works. I couldn't stand to have my feet bare, unless it was the summer and I were sweltering in my boiling-hot house, that is.

5. Other
Both feet are under the covers but no covers are touching either foot.

7. hmm. very interesting.
do you have some sort of cover/tent structure to keep the covers from touching your feet?

9. I have a blanket lift
It slides between the mattress & box springs. The blankets & top sheet go over it. It slips off easily in the morning when I make my bed. Or I can leave it there if I don't care that it looks like a tent at the foot of the bed.

I got it from my Dr. years ago when I had an injured foot & the weight of the blanket hurt. I kept using it because I loved the warmth of being covered without the weight of the blanket holding me down.

6. I like my feet covered.
I can't sleep uncovered. Even on hot summer nights, I still need at least a sheet.

8. Half the time tucked, half the time out. I seem to go through
'shake and bake', where my body temp alternately gets extremely low and then boiling hot. Been that way for many years.

13. I do that too
My feet act as a thermostat during the night.They stay in while I am cold or good temperature. They go out when I get hot. They go back in if I get cold.
My husband is tall and likes the sheets and blankets tucked in so my feet go to the side if they are uncovered.
I usually start with my feet tucked in. I am usually on the cool side when going to bed because my body heat hasn't warmed the bed up yet.

12. I really don't care
Once I hit the bed I'm out in like five minutes tops, no matter what is covered or not.
