For Shannan in North Carolina, an 18 lb twin size weighted blanket was the solution for her insomnia:
"Eileen,
I meant to send this a while ago, but thank you so much for the
blanket! It has helped with my insomnia more than I ever imagined. I'm
no longer tossing and turning at night, waking up countless times, or
having trouble getting to sleep. Even when I only have time for a few
hours or even a nap, I feel so refreshed afterwards. Now I found a new
problem though-I never want to get out of bed in the morning!! Thanks again, Shannan"
What is a weighted blanket?
The Cozy Calm weighted blanket is made of two layers: an inner liner that holds medical-grade plastic beads sewn at intervals so they don't move around; and an outer covering attached to the liner.
"The blankets the kids
had before were weighted with un-popped popcorn and I washed it and it got moldy and
lumpy.
The blanket from Cozy Calm is impossible to get off my son. He
refuses to even share with his sister he loves it so much. He also brings it
every where! On our long drives to my sister's or just running errands. No
matter how hot it is.
Also, my friend was taking a nap on my couch one afternoon and I had the a/c on
full blast so figuring he was cold I put the blanket on him and when
he woke up he said "oh man that was the best nap I've ever had". He
was very impressed with the blanket as well."
