Do you sleep better with a weighted blanket? I have one and love using it for naps. 😴

How weighted blankets impact sleep is largely unknown but I thought this new study was interesting that demonstrated a 32% increase in melatonin at bedtime after using a weighted blanket (12% body weight) for 4 days. No difference was shown in total sleep time using a consumer wearable, cortisol level, or subjective sleepiness. Let me know what you think of weighted blankets in the comments below!
