I used that technique today and actually had to kick the sheet off because I'd gotten too cold.
It's as if when people rent a hotel room, they think they're renting a tiny pocket of space in a perfect dimension, where the laws of reality can be reshaped to their whims.
And literally, my first thought here was, "what's so unusual about that? My hotel's guests fully believe the laws of reality can be reshaped to their whims. What's more, we're expect to do it."
Not that having a private demiplane for a day or two wouldn't be awesome. But you can't get that for a hundred dollars a night.
You do, however, get it for three-hundred dollars a night. And what I find truly remarkable is that, even with AC, our guests still managed to use all the ice in the hotel (several hundred gallons worth). And bitch about wanting more.
