I just discovered why i might have had some problems with my sleeping sheet lately. I like sleeping sheets, sheet and blanket in one. But i'm not very handy with these things and last time i put the blanketthingy inside the sleeping sheet some i managed to put it the wrong way.... The long side of the blanket at the short side of the sheet.... I have wondered why the feet seem to have only sheet no blanket all the time but havent even imagined i could do such a blunder. Has gone on for some time too.... In spite of making up the bed i havent thought of looking inside the sleeping sheet. Now i have made a change. Feels a lot better. Perhaps i even sleep better. But how incredible stupid of me.....!!!!!!!!!

Hey Kurben, do you want to know what the trick is ? You start with the sleeping sheet inside out, you put your arms through the hole and you reach for the bottom corners with each hand. Once you've done that, with your hands still in the sleeping sheet you hold the duvet by the bottom corners and hold them through the sheet then you cover it with the sheet which then will be in the right way and shake it until it covers the duvet.
And if you want to make sure the duvet doesn't move once it's on you can also align the opposite corners once you've done that. Good luck for next time!

No kidding. I'd fall asleep before I'd figure all that out.

Hold the duvet by each corner, utilizing fingers AND toes for maximum gripping, while slipping head through the BOTTOM HOLE (you dare not use the top one), twist body at hip one half-quarter turn using teeth to peel down the cowl-flap until it rests over the eyelids. Hold position for approximately fifteen minutes trying NOT to breathe and listening to the soft, hypnotic groaning of Leonard Cohen as the Valium takes effect.

Grasp sheet. It must be 1/4" folded over, bottom may have a tolerance up to 1/8"
Gently fold over your body while your left knee is bent at a 45 degree angle. This is the most important thing. Knee must be at 45

Turn holding sheet with one finger raised at 90 degees

Using middle finger may cause bad dreams.
