A man lies in his bed and covers himself with a blanket. He wishes for one more blanket to be warm enough, but a blanket is in another room. He has an idea, that is to say, w/o getting up and leaving his bedroom he does not wish for another blanket anymore. Why not?

First guess is not bad. However, no unmentioned objects (or wives) have a role in the riddle. To cut a long story short. You are not thinking yet which, happens to be untypical for You.

This happens to be a serious riddle. And since members here are serious, being serious riddlers and all, I am puzzled as to why, oh why! the riddle hasn't been solved yet?!

Because it is a "guess what I am thinking about right now" type of question.

If the blanket is large enough to still cover him when folded double, that would solve his problem.
