It's an old Native American saying. "Only the white man would.... (What you said) & Believe that you have a bigger blanket" One of my favs. I forgot who said it originally.

It had purpose when we used oil to light street lamps etc but has been pointless for far too long.

I think it's more that the blanket is always being pulled slightly off of you, and you don't have a way to reverse it so you cut off the bottom and add it to the top. So you have a little bit more time under the warm blanket.

DST: when the earth's tilting pulls your blanket down off your shoulders and you pull it back up.
