I hope I have found my final insomnia solution. I bought a child size weighted blanket. I was afraid I would not be able to handle an adult size blanket one-handed. The small size means it covers me only from the waist down. I do not think I would be comfortable having that extra weight on my chest. Bottomline: I occasionally wake up at 3:30 A.M., but I sleep 6 to 8 hours most nights. A friend also ordered a child size weighted blanket and reported the same results. The calming effect of the extra weight is not just hype.
Interesting. Insomnia isn't usually a problem for me, but I do sleep with a heavy blanket from the waist down. Who knows?
