This is more of a shout out but if you haven't tried a weighted blanket I strongly recommend it. I find it does help. From sleeping to my anxiety some even.

You can get a little one so the blanket does not cover your feet.

My mom got me one for my RLS several years ago. While it helps with that a little, I really notice that it helps calm me.
