The amount of coverage that you need may vary. Experiment and you can find the combination that will help you both fall asleep and stay ventilated during the hot nights.

I figured out I just need 3 areas to cover to feel really comfy:

- feet (socks are enough)

- lower back

- my face around the eyes

For hot sleepers, this can be immensely difficult to get right. I struggled with insomnia for months in part due to the fact that temperature fluctuated as the convecs heater sucks. Best results were to keep the room cool enough that I could sleep with a sheet and light comforter. Having the comforter "partially" covering when I felt hot doesn't work. Layering sheets doesn't work either, as by the time you've piled enough, it traps too much heat which doesn't escape.

I tell you, it's all such a head ache.
