16Nah, #teamsummer here. I struggle so much in the winter. I either the blanket is too thick and I'm warm but at the cost of waking up drenched it sweat or it's too thin and I have a hard time falling asleep because it's chilly. There's just no blanket that's breathable and isolates well. In the summer I can just use a thin cotton bed sheet and sleep with the window open. Nights like this are one of my favorite things and I love falling asleep to the sound of crickets chirping outside.
12I would hardly run the AC if the hottest it got in summertime in Oklahoma City was 90°F. But last year, we had several instances where it got up to 100 or 105. And the dew point was 70-75 degrees all summer. So your sweat hardly evaporates. I run my AC all day to keep it 80 degrees and swampy indoors.
I would love to redo my whole house's HVAC system where one smallish central unit cools the kitchen and living room and each of the bedrooms have their own ductless mini split. This is one way to achieve zoning. There's no reason to cool the entire house to 65 degrees if I'm about to be asleep in the bedroom for the next 8 hours. There's no reason to try to keep the whole house cool when I'm about to spend my day in my home office. Just cool the room I'm in and leave the rest alone.
I could also do window units, but for some reason, my wife is vehemently opposed to them. Her parents just put window units in all their bedrooms and one in their living room. They don't use the central unit anymore. They only cool the room they're in right now, and their power bills went from $400 to $150 in summer. They paid for themselves in one season.
11I'm more of a Spring/Fall enjoyer, but I like winter too. Summer I just turn on a bunch of fans because AC is expensive AF and has a chonky carbon footprint
10Autumn's really where it is at. Best season.
9Me only being able to sleep while blasting the AC to the point where it's cold enough that I need a blanket: Pathetic
9I live in Florida, what's winter?
5It really depends on where you are. There are places where summer is the same temperature as some other place's winter.
Also, I hate the fact that in winter you have to stay inside all the time, there's no sun and everything is cold and sad. Spring and Summer are the times of the year when you travel, go out, enjoy nature and make memories.
And if you have a decently insulated home or AC, you can sleep great.
4You let your blanket hang off like that?? You monster!
4It was a beautiful 3 chilly days over here, now we went back to our regular daily hell 🫠🫠🫠
4This is why water beds are amazing
Winter you put memory foam to keep you from the cold water, in summer you sleep on the cold water.
Only downsides to a water bed are: 1. Heavy 2. You have to add chemicals to your mattress as regular maintenance 3. It can't really be extra firm (but a lot more firm than people think)
The water will steal every bit of heat from your body, but you'll stay warm with a blanket
3Another reason would be you can't use heavier blankets in summer
3man i wish it was summer already
I'm most cozy at an air temp of like 30°C :( It barely ever gets this hot here in Germany
2Sorry I don‘t spend enough time sleeping to actually care
