Gravity Blankets. Do you have/want one?

[xFreePeaceSweetx]

Ive read they are good for insomnia, depression, anxiety etc and was also considering getting one for dd. However they are so expensive. If you have one has it helped you?

Do you mean a weighted blanket? They're helpful for people sensory needs and on the autistic spectrum. Not sure what benefit someone without particular difficulties would get from it. Most people I know with them have made their own.

Didn’t know it was a ‘thing’, but I can’t sleep without something heavy over me, particularly my feet. I tend to use a dressing gown and the cat!

I'd never heard of them, but now am thinking one would be good for dh.
He currently sleeps under multiple layers, which make him and me overheat, but can't seem to drop off without them.
Off to Google how to make one...

Yes I have one, I like it so do my cats !!

If they are the weighted blankets my daughter has one as she has some sensory issues. Works a treat

I would love one of these if I could afford it.. I can't sleep without a weight on top of me( excuse the phrase!)

Be aware there have been issues with youngsters overheating using these. Mainly around them not have the self regulation to realise there is a problem and remove it.

You could try adding a quilt or a blanket over your DDs duvet (if she sleeps with one) or using sheets & blankets and tucking her in tightly (does anyone else remember being tucked in tightly - possibly because homes were a lot colder...?). It was soothing. You may want to ensure her room is cool first.
