I sleep with 5 blankets to add the weighted effect. It helps

I believe they are called "gravity blankets" - they are supposed to surround the body with a even weight which soothes the nervous system- like being swaddled. I know from my own experience, I need to have a certain weight on me in order to rest well. Look them up on YouTube or amazon. Ok?
