Wow, um… I’m glad MY boyfriend’s amount of love for me doesn’t change due to my sleeping body’s involuntary/unconscious movements and heat output/retainment, or his inability to grab another blanket. I guess I feel sorry that apparently someone else’s out there does…?
cry me a river baby
For me its reversed (as far as this graph goes) literally.
Doesn’t change? As far as you know, anyway…
It’s not the “love” that runs along that bell curve, Kim. What I think the OP is trying to show is that guys are seemingly the most horny at bedtime and in the morning. The lower part of the bell curve is while the guy is sleeping. lol
you’re an idiot. It’s a joke.
Thats what you think ^_^
… This is COMPLETELY the wrong way round. I end up with NO cover, and only the barest inch of bed. Every night he slowly edges his way over until he has the whole bed to himself.
Exactly! I never have any covers when I wake up, the hubby steals them all. There are times when he’s just a bit too hot and he’ll kick the entire king size duvet off his side of our queen size bed rather than let me have an inch. I can usually keep an inch of bed unless I get up to use the bathroom or something in which case he takes over the whole thing and growls at me when I try to push him over. Seriously, he’s a mean sleeper.
It certainly is! I routinely wake up in the middle of the night in a tiny, chilly corner. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even bother trying to move him if he’s taking up less than 65% of the bed (it’s queen sized, and we’re both quite slender, so he has no excuse).
Yeah, I think we can safely conclude that blanket-hogging is not tied to the gender chromosome.
My man takes the blankets gradually but inexorably from one corner only… to lie ON them. When he turns over he rolls and covers up more. And he’s damn heavy to try and wrest them back from, too. He’s lucky he’s so lovely.
How can her blankets be constant, if his keep going down. Is she eating them?
She could be kicking them on the floor.
At first they both are under all three, and by morning she has the same three, and he has none. Blanket math.
I know I eat the blankets when I sleep. It’s very costly after a while. I had to start sleeping with a muzzle.
I am completely guilty of stealing all the blankets.
HAHA me too, my poor hubby. I often nudge him to the very edge of the bed too. Poor guy lol. (You can see how sincere my guilt is by the laughing….)
My wife hogs the whole bed from just after she sleeps (literally within minutes) all night long. I’ve taken to having a my own banky by the bed for backup! She still doesn’t understand why despite the discussions and evidence every morning.
It is pretty much the other way round for me, too. (-;
THIS IS TOTALLY ME.
This can either way. Sometimes I take the blankets, but only after he takes ‘em first!!!
The single most accurate post I have read on this site.
I just pee on her when she takes all the blankets.
whoa, that’s so hot. I’m told that there are women out there that like that, but so far I have yet to meet one. At least one that doesn’t wake up screaming out four letter words when you try.
Only at HER place though. Otherwise your mattress gets kind of gnarly after a while.
“Want to be warm, do you? Take this!”
^ win.
One of the best. SO true.
It looks like whoever ended up in the corner in the first illustration got his/her revenge by cutting all his/her partner’s blankets in half.
Definitely the opposite in my house.
In the number of blankets graph, of course hers stay the same. If she pulls them over so she still has them all but he doesn’t have any, three new blankets don’t magically appear :p
Why is it assumed in the last one that the man loves the woman more than the woman loves the man?
Take shots of vodka until it makes sense.
shoes.
Well if you voluntarily share a bed with someone every night then I can’t say I feel much sympathy for you for suffering the consequences.
ALL THE BLANKETS ARE BELONG TO ME
WHAT YOU SAY!
We get signal. Main screen turn on.
Take off all pillows!
This graph was completely ripped off from wellingtongrey.net! Is it Wellington opperating in secret or some schmuck stealing someone else’s work?
Guessing it’s some schmuck.

Considering that under the graph it says “Source: Wellington Grey” with a link to that site, I don’t think it’s stealing so much as reposting for the benefit of people (like me) who haven’t seen that comic before.
I think reading these comments is infinitely more entertaining than the graphs, and I do quite enjoy the graphs!
Solution: Separate blankets. My wife and I each have our own King Size cover so there’s never any issue. Even Queen size would be more than enough, but the extra coverage is a blessing during the cold months.
Same here. It also helps with the fact that my husband wants to be considerably warmer than I do when we’re sleeping; he gets two quilts, I get a sheet and one or two cotton blankets, and we’re both happy. He does tend to take over the bed space unless I actively fight for it, though.
My fiancee and I are the exact opposite of this. Almost every night I wake up halfway pushed of the bed with him and the cats taking up the rest.
sums it up pretty well
use a single bed ;D
In my relationship it’s entirely the other way around, unless I happen to have a nightmare and thrash around a lot in my sleep. We came up with a perfect solution, though: we each have out own blanket now. The only time we use but one is on warm nights when I’m the only one who needs a blanket
so is the squarehead the female and the circle head the male? :S
Getting all scientific in this graph I see
Heh, gets even better; my ex-wife tended to gradually progress towards rolling all the covers up like a windowshade under her chin. >.>
LOL We are mostly the opposite of that graph. My fella is the one who overheats/ does the Death Roll into the blankets. We don’t crowd each other into the corner tho, mainly cos once he warms up he moves away from me.
doesn’t take into account “passed out drunk after 25 years of marriage”
This is us, completely, except it doesn’t mention the kicking and punching the mean sleeping wife does throughout the night. Sorry hon! And for some reason he laughs maniacally if I end up rolling off the bed…
yeah, some of these are right
Men, there’s a real simple solution to this:
Sleep with other men. Problem solved.
I don’t know if the proportion of blanket hogs is significantly lower among men than women, but as evidenced by the unscientific study of the comments under the graph, there clearly is a chance to end up with no blanket no matter what gender you choose. You do have a point, though!
I wish I had a girl to steal my blankets….
My ex to a T. Then she wakes up and complains that it’s hot. Well, yeah, if I was covered in a sheet and two blankets like a hot pocket I would be hot too.
Either two separate blankets or two separate beds.
Problem solved!
