Me and my weighted blanket- off topic

My husband when back from hospital and I decided to aid his recovery for me to sleep in the other bed as he was restless and I was going thro a bad patch of waking up a lot during the night.

So for almost 2 weeks I have been in the other bed and my sleep has not been great and its been taking me ages to fall asleep i.e 1am etc. then when I wake up my fatigue has been thro the roof.

Last night I said to hubby I will come into our bed and see if being in that bed helps. Now I had for some reason completely forgotten about my weighted blanket which I have used every night since bought last year to move to the spare room.

Last night bed at 9pm and I was out till 630am this morning. BLISS.

My fatigue not gone but at least I feel I have slept so not in a fog of no sleep and fatigue.

I had obviously just assumed my weighted blanket was not as essential to sleep as it proved to me last night!

I sure your hubby realises he has such a caring other half, even though she still needs her blanket. Just hoping you are both getting better. x

💡🤔🤦🏻‍♀️ The joys of fatigue, for me, involve regularly remembering things a day or two later.. 🙄. Glad you had a good sleep 😴. Have a couple of gins this evening though, just to be on the safe side 😝
