Weighted Blankets

[bednobs]

has anyone tried one?
i have recently been having extremely poor sleep owing to anxiety and wondered if these work?

I've never tried one of the specialist ones, but - especially at this time of year - I like a heavy duvet with extra couple of blankets on top, and I'm sure it helps me sleep, as does my electric blanket. I also use earplugs, even though it's a quiet village, and I think that helps too - the darker and quieter my bedroom, the better!

My daughter has one and it works for her

It's worth a try. I know a woman with dementia who has benefited enormously from a weighted blanket.

no idea but personally I couldn't stand it. I like my bedding to be as light as possible

I don't know anything about weighted no bankers as I also prefer light coverings. But I do find using an eye mask helps particularly in the early mornings when it's getting lighter. My curtains aren't "blackout " curtains but still quite dark but even they let light in.

No bankers ? How did that happen!!
