I am not a cover up person aside from a baseball cap. that way i can shade my eyes and avoid other peoples eyes easier and they can avoid mine i usually have the cap down over my eyes and it helps with sun. I won't leave home without my hat.

In summer i refuse covers i kick at them off as its too hot then. I've never been one to wear extra clothing unless it was a cold snow area.
I am almost always in shorts, tank tops, jeans, same comfy clothes, and sandals or sneakers

It's really hard for me to sleep without something covering me. I think it is partially do to the feeling of being hidden. My 25Lb weighted blanket feels amazing and I have rarely gone a night without it on top of me! I usually sleep with a regular blanket and the weighted blanket on top of that.

I have no issues with wearing shorts. I can't stand being hot and wearing long pants during summer would be torture! Luckily, my weighted blanket doesn't trap much heat in the summer so I can still use it when it's hot.

In terms of clothing, no; I feel most comfortable when in shorts and a T-shirt. That said, I sleep under lots of blankets and have everything except my head covered when I'm in bed.

I have to look into one of these. I like the weight of an extra blanket on top of me, but it gets too warm in the summer. I find it harder to sleep without the extra weight.

This is why I wear my hair long on my forehead. :P It provides a modicum of protection against the sun.

I've always preferred to cover as much skin as possible. I wore a hat all the time when I was a kid, long before parents and teachers were worried about sun exposure. I liked long-sleeved tops and trousers and would have to be HOT before I would change into something lighter. I even had to wear shoes and socks. I needed something over me at night before I could sleep.

Covering up has become less necessary as I get older, and now that I live in the tropics it's impossible to dress like I did when I was younger. Nonetheless, I only own one pair of shorts - the pair I bought yesterday for when I do exercise. I am quite nervous about wearing them for the first time!

I like being covered up when I'm outside, because otherwise I feel vulnerable. In the summer, especially, I am always worried about insects.

But in beds it's the other way around - it feels better with less clothing.

The way I dress is temperature dependant, so if it's warm I wear less and if it's cold I'll wear more. However I am not generally a 'wear really short skirts', 'flash you navel' kinda girl and I do like to maintain some standards, particularly as I'm not in my early twenties anymore. While I like to look good, I like to feel comfortable as well.
