Is this an American thing? Do people in warmer regions of the country (Texas, Florida, ...) also feel the same?
The article seems to provide very limited evidence that people sleep under blankets on hot nights and it sounds like a silly thing to do in the abstract. A lot of people would just remove the blanket when they get hot.
But if you are so used to blankets that you can’t fall asleep without one, dropping the blanket because it’s hot is a pretty bad sleeping strategy
These are the same folks who sweaters is its 80F outside. They can handle heat.
If ACs had the ability to run as dehumidifiers in convinced the temp would rise

Humidity does a lot.
As I've posted before:
115C with 10% humidity (71.66F wet bulb) here is hot, but as long as you have water, you're better off here than in Florida with 85F at 90% humidity (87.46F wet bulb).
I don't know what TFA is talking about.
