I never sleep without a blanket at home. If it's too hot I will put the AC on just do I can have my blanket.

Solar panels, my last electricity bill for a quarter was literally $0 :)

My comment was tongue in cheek. Solar and AC are a good combo.

I'd argue there's still a energy+climate reckoning coming where energy won't be as abundant as it has been and high energy use activities (like AC) will be more challenging. the EROEI (Energy Return on Energy Invested) of renewables/low-carbon are much lower than peak fossil fuels.

Incidentally I'm the same as you I'm so socialised on sleeping under something I do it regardless of temperature
