What happens if you sleep with it on all night.

Huh? That's what they're for

 

[therealjohnny]

an what if you have.... an accident during the night?

When I had one [1980s] the deal was

Turn it on for an hour or two before going to bed.
Turn it off when you got in to bed.
Otherwise: DANGER.

Put it under the plastic sheet

Mine has an "all night" setting

 

[nlgbbbblth]

I see. Technology has improved since 1989.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I kept waking up with the cold the night before last

 

[Jill Hives]

I have nightmares of coil burns from those. A hot water bottle is all you need. Or maybe three.

 

[GO]

What one did you get Shaney?

I'm planning on getting one asap.

Fuck being cold at night..and I can't stand extra blankets

Got the HWB out for the first time this autumn during the week. Lovely stuff.

Sleep Guardian, it's old now, I just dug it out of a box yesterday. I think I'll get a second duvet too, and mittens

 

[GO]

And a nightcap?

Victorian style

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I have worn me cap in the past, but not regularly. A (bald) friend of mine wears four caps in bed - one good one should really be enough

You cannot beat a proper down duvet - lovely and warm without being too heavy. We recently decided to go Scandinavian style with a duvet each instead of fighting over a shared one. Sleeping with a duvet tucked in under each shoulder = heaven.

I always had a fear that an electric blanket would turn me into a human toasted sandwich / pop tart. tucked up in my blanket, silently toasting away through the night

If I don't have synthetic anti-allergenic pillows and duvets my eyes are so gunky in the morning that it takes me about half an hour to clear them enough to see. In fact I'm going shopping today for new pillows and more mattress covers. I couldn't find kingsize anti-allergenic mattress covers the last day I looked. What a princess I am!

It doesn't do to think too much about them

 

[Squiggle]

Organic wool duvets, pillows and other bedding are supposed to be great for allergy sufferers, not cheap but a friend of my Dad got some a few years ago and he swears by it.

As long as my sheets don't get washed with biological detergent or softener I'm ok.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I could sleep on the floor of a shed.

Probably have done.

 

[Jill Hives]

Turkey, cheese, cranberry and sweet pepper toastie.*



*Purchased for lunch because of the thought of becoming a toastie via an electric blanket.

I thought about them a lot. I mostly thought about how much i associated electric blankets with this scene from Star Wars.

Yeah, word. I don't think I've ever managed to beat the time I slept on a staircase.

Being able to sleep anywhere is my only real talent in life.
