If you can't find a comfortable temperature when you're sleeping under blankets, just stick one foot, and maybe part of your lower leg, out from under of the blankets. It acts like a radiator, and will release much of your excess heat.
A kid showed this to me at a childhood slumber party, and it's been a useful tip ever since.
I'm not taking advice from an obvious night monster.
The real trick is to put the foot out, then pull it over the blanket so the foot's surrounded by blanket.
From the view of creatures under the bed, all they see is the blanket.
Seriously, did night monsters write this post?!
That's noob tier. I'm a blanket junkie for some reason, so I have to compromise in any weather. The blanket could be covering any part of my body, from neck-to-toe to just the legs, to one vertical half, to part of the torso, to just a corner being on me.
But then the monsters might eat my foot!
Really though: I have a visceral aversion to having my feet exposed like that. If I’m lying down or even sitting on the couch, my feet must be covered. I could have no other blankets, except on my feet.
Yeah, you have a different issue.
Nah, it’s that I would love to be able to use it as a radiator like you suggested, but I have a sensory problem with exposing my feet like that. It’s really annoying actually, because I have some chronic conditions that make me more heat sensitive now, and even though I know it would help a ton, I still can’t stand the feeling of my feet being exposed.
So, same problem, but sadly can’t use your solution.
The Snorkel is god-tier advice.
