Is it normal to stay under the blanket too long?

I was hardly home for about two straight days. It doesn't sound like much but I'm not away very often, and I didn't know the person I was with very well. We didn't fight and it felt like we got along but by the time I got home I was just so stressed and tired and anxious. I got completely under my blanket and didn't get up for a solid ten minutes, even when it got really warm. In fact, the warmer it got, the more I wanted to stay, as if the heat was comforting in a kind of cathartic way.
I don't remember but it might have been cold most of the time I was gone, I suppose that could be part of the reason. I understand the impulse to curl up under a blanket but I don't know why I stayed under for so long, is that normal?

    Sounds like you've activated some kind of deep primal hibernation instinct from within the reptilian part of your brain.

    You released the anal gases didn't you and wanted to savour them? It's okay, we all do it. Sometimes I take flatulent animals under there with me too and have an inter-species mingling of the airs.

      Most people wouldn't know it by just looking at them but cats have the stinkiest farts.

        They do, and they don't mellow with size. One needs a strong constitution to take a leopard under a blanket. It takes a strong constitution to get it under there in the first place but, once there, that's where the trouble really begins.

        39 seconds is my record. I was in an oxygen tent for seven weeks and was three times clinically dead (although that was down to medical incompetence - somebody kept pulling the plug out of the heart beepy machine).

    You stayed under your blanket for ten MINUTES and consider that a long time? O.o

    I usually stay under a blanket for 10 hours. Although I do let my feet out when it gets too hot.
