[Tauriel doesn't sleep, but she does go into the restive, trance-like state that her kind indulge in when they require rest. And since they do dream in this state, it is no surprise that she might be considered somewhat vulnerable while doing so.
Conveniently enough, the sun is rising and she can feel it in her bones, even in the middling state between that dreaming trance and true awakening. What surprises her as she slowly elevates her consciousness is that gradual awareness that her body is warmed not just by the blanket, but by the bodies on either side of her, pressed against her own.]
