Weighted blankets

Starbuck

I was wondering if anyone on the forums has used or currently uses a weighted blanket?

I have read that they can be very good for relieving anxiety and can even help to improve sleep, but I am a skeptic when it comes to the marketing hype.

I am interested to hear your experiences and whether you think they are worth the money as they don't come cheap!

The reason I am considering one is due to my anxiety levels being very high for a prolonged period of time now as well as having to deal with poor sleep.  I have tried medication and it hasn't agreed with me so I am getting desperate for a solution, especially as my health is starting to suffer and I am becoming very run down.

    I have attempted sewing on a number of occasions and the results have been....well let's say interesting!  My partner wouldn't believe how bad I am at sewing until he witnessed my attempts first hand - his advice was to quit whilst I was ahead and I couldn't agree more!  

    I have tried Valerian root extract previously and it does help to relax me a bit if I am not too bad to start with, but I think I am a bit beyond that at the moment.  It's definitely better than medication though once the anxiety is not too bad.
