Move Over Snuggie!!

So I am a huge fan of sleeping with covers, so much so that I will turn the AC on high during the summer months so I can be cold enough to have the weight of the covers on me.  During the winter, because I live in a basement in a frozen tundra here in Podunk, Nowhere, which means REALLY cold winters.  Especially because there's only one thermostat in the house and that is located upstairs, in another apartment.  So I end up wearing a sweatshirt at night to keep completely warm.  But that is ummm... sorta beyond the point.  What I get for posting late at night while watching The Office.

Anyway, I've lately noticed that even with my fan on, I am not completely satisfied with the temperature situation.  Either my arms are freezing and my legs are burning up, or vice versa.  It's not even a situation that can be solved with the simple just the sheet or just the top cover scenario (you know what I'm talking about, it's the reason our beds look so much worse in the summer after a night's sleep than in the winter).  It's too warm for the sweatshirt I use during the winter, but too cold to go without anything.  And no, I will NOT turn off my fan and just be happy without any blankets.  I just can't sleep that way.

So, while I was trying to get comfortable last night, I realized perhaps the most amazing blanket invention ever.  Better than the snuggie or the blobe (blanket robe) or any other fleece concoction that resembles a monk's outfit.  Now I haven't come up with the name because, honestly, I hate naming things.  I can write a 12-page essay in a day, but it will take me a week to come up with an adequate name.

Back to my amazing blanket idea.  It's a layered blanket.  You can peel off or back or over a layer to make the blanket lighter if you're too hot or join the layers back up to make it thicker if you're too cold.  But, the layers will separate in the middle of the body.  That way my upper half can be cooler than my lower house or vice versa.  Genius, right?!  It's like the coolio beds whose firmness you can change on either side depending on the person. 

And no, I'm not patenting this idea.  Why?  Because I can't sew.  I can't draw.  Oh, and I'm kinda busy with that trying to graduate from college thing right now.  So, I couldn't make a prototype.  I couldn't design a prototype.  I don't even have time to prototype.  Maybe they could call it the Unknowingly Awesome Sheet Perfectly Priced for the Middle Class.  Sorta name it after me, ya know?

So what do you think, would you use the UASPPftMC (for short, of course)?  Oh, and you can follow me on twitter, FYI @MidclassUnknown
