Weighted blanket.

I have just been looking at weighted blankets on Amazon. Has anyone found they are helpful for sleep ? Sometimes I sleep quite well. If I have anything on my mind I'm worried about I toss and turn all night, I just don't sleep.

YES! i have a weighted blanket and i love it!! it's so comforting! just take it to a laundry mat to wash it. don't use your own washer and dryer. even if the instructions say you can.

I am simar to you i.e. usually sleep OK, but when Im really anxious it keeps me up.

I got a weighted blanket because one was on sale, and it honestly didn't do much for me :/ It's also summer, which means I get hot at night, so I found I couldn't really bear it.

I've heard it can help some people during a panic attack to be sort of swaddled in one, but I don't really get those either (more anxiety attacks).

I brought one a few months ago, very expensive and it didn’t help. So I returned it. Got money back accept postage both ways, which was annoying!

I purchased one on Amazon but honestly it didn’t help much!

My opinion maybe it works for other people ! Good luck 🍀

Love mine. Great for anxiety and sleep. Even take it in the car on road trips.

I love mine! I was and still occasionally am super heart aware, especially at night. The blanket makes it less noticeable. I find that I fall asleep quicker with it as well. I also take mine for road trips and will use it during the day if I am feeling panicky.
