Blanket is how I get to sleep. I need it. I wish there was a cold blanket for these stupid hot summers. Edit: and yet I can nap fully clothes, on top the blankets, in the afternoon (if I'm super exhausted). So maybe I could condition myself out of this? But I'm not willing to risk my sleep on experiments).
I sometimes sleep with the thing you put around a blanket (I'm not sure what the right word for it is in English)
The phrase you are after is "Duvet cover." A blanket is technically just a single layer of fabric, a quilt is several layers and a Duvet is 2 layers with stuffing. Calling any/all of them "blankets" is normal... until you have to put the cover on.
