Weighted blanket

[Tanyaaaa]

I dont know about anyone else, but my sleeping is absolutely crap! It always has been. However after trying several if not all different kinds of things to improve my sleep, I read up on weighted blankets and decided to give one a go!

I'd read to get one around 10% of your own body weight and because I'm only small I decided to get a child's one. It covers my whole body except my head so it's perfect. And.... My sleeping has massively improved! I only wake a couple of times during the night. My aches and pains are much less and I seem to go into a deeper sleep. I would definitely recommend if any one else is at their wits end and running out of options.

Hope youre all staying safe and well 💜

I have one too. I agree. I love it. I run hot at night and sweat so with an extra blanket, I invested in an Ooler to cool my bed. I sleep with it at 63 F/17 C. Best sleep routine I’ve had in a while.

[Tanyaaaa in reply to Jmiller623]

It's amazing I was quite dubious at first but I can't go to bed without it now. I'm the opposite I'm constantly cold and my temp is always low, so I'm loving the extra blanket even in the warmer weather.... My partner not so much bless him 😂🙄

I’ve never heard of such a thing but am going to read up on it now - really pleased for you that it’s improving your sleep x

[Tanyaaaa in reply to svfarmer]

Let me know if you try one and how you find it. By far best 30 quid I've spent recently! I got mine off ebay x

[svfarmer in reply to Tanyaaaa]

I’ve just been looking on Amazon and they are £80 upwards - I will look on eBay - has yours got different covers? X

[Tanyaaaa in reply to svfarmer]

I'll send you the link now for the one I got x

[svfarmer in reply to Tanyaaaa]

Same as you I am a crap sleeper and I am always too hot and I hate the weight of the bedclothes on my legs! Can you tell me where you got yours please?

[Tanyaaaa in reply to Bakbre]

Hi Tanyaaa

eBay here I come 😂👍

Best wishes 🤗

Stay safe 🙏

I need to try this, I believe my sleep broke up with me, sleeping for as much as an hour is a miracle for me and doesn't happen everyday. I am EXHAUSTED. I hope this helps

[Bedazzled_Unicorn]

Are you able to share the link for the one you got. Ebay is overwhelming me

[Tanyaaaa in reply to Bedazzled_Unicorn]

I'm only 5 foot and weigh about 9 stone. So I got the child's size and the 5.7kg one x

hi Thank you for this information

My sleeping pattern is terrible I go to bed around 10 wake up at 12.30 and I’m awake for hours I refuse to check the time now because it just makes for an extra long night

GP prescribed Amitriptyline last month which does work less tinnitus and foot and finger throb Well I notice it less because I sleep deeper, however, it is dependant on the pharma brand second scrip different brand no sleep.

Anyway weighted blanket might be a great option especially if it helps with the aches and pains ; and it’s not too hot, I will investigate deeper to get the right one or it might be like me and pillows a lot of money wasted but can never find the right one 🙂🙏🏽

[Tanyaaaa in reply to Fila62]

I was exactly the same. I go to bed around half 10 every night and I'm awake again by midnight then I seem to nod back off after what feels like forever only to wake up again an hour later. I just feel exhausted and frustrated in the mornings. But honestly this blanket seems to be working for me. I wouldn't say my sleeping is perfect but Ive noticed I don't wake til about 2/3 now which is far better than midnight, and I'm waking less frequently. Good luck with your search 🤞

I have considered getting one as I sleep better with heavier covers. It also brought to mind mind being 'tucked in' as a child when we used layers of blankets rather than a duvet. I think I will definately get one after reading the comments.

[Tanyaaaa in reply to CHEZZAD68]

Good luck, hope it works as well for you 🤞

[CHEZZAD68 in reply to Tanyaaaa]

I'll let you know 😊

Hi

My son has just surprised me with a Gravity blanket as one of my birthday present’s. I will vouch in saying it has helped me a lot with my sleeping pattern. If I didn’t have to pee 5/6 times through the night then I would probably get 6 hours undisturbed sleep.

Have a read up on Gravityblanket.co.uk before you buy 👍🏻🙂

[Tanyaaaa in reply to Bobbiemay]

Oh I've not heard of these before I'll have a look, so glad your sleeping has improved, there's nothing better is there!

[WingyFliy]

That's exactly how it worked for me! Though 10% is only for kids I guess. Mine is about 25% and since I got one sleeping just became my favorite thing in the world, while previously it was associated with nightmares and bad experience in general. I guess I've already got the perfect one for you, but for others I'd recommended this royaltherapypillow.com/
