Attic insulation in Western New York State?

I am looking to remove old attic insulation, but i have been getting mixed answeredI am looking to put insulation in my attic between the rafters with an R-30 valueIs that enough or to much R value? Plus do i need un-faced or faced insulation? I live in Western New York in a 900 sq ft single story house, and my attic is just like a crawl spaceAny help or information would help me this winter, thank you.

Answer:

It's getting hot because the blanket traps and reflects your body heat, making you warmer and warmerIf you fell asleep, you would probably kick off the blanket in your sleep or you'd wake up because lack of air made you uncomfortableYour subconscious body can actually fend for itself in some matters, and usually a quick kick or arm movement will move the blanket and let the air in.
Whatever you decide to do wear a proper mask and overallsLeave the old stuff where it is and lay more over the top best R value the better
you could die from lack of air
