A couple of months ago I was introduced to what a Gravity Blanket (also known as a weighted blanket) was and how this would help my insomnia and anxiety.
I quickly researched what a gravity blanket was and looked at reviews. I decided that yes, I needed one of these and when I had the money I would buy one.
Well they are expensive and that is a downside, but I think it is really worth every penny.
My boyfriend surprised me with one on my birthday and I was so excited to try it out, I literally couldn't wait to get into bed.
The first thing I noticed about the blanket was how unbelievably heavy it was when it was folded, even just at 15 pounds. But when it's spread out, it's definitely evenly weighted and it doesn't feel too heavy at all.
I had read about how it feels like a warm hug, more or less a comfort tool and that it helps with sleeping throughout the night and having more deep and restful sleeps.
The first night with it, I crawled into bed and immediately felt cozy and tucked in. I feel asleep in 10 minutes.
I woke up the next day feeling incredibly refreshed, I had completely slept through the night and it was SO difficult to get out of bed that morning. (it was the same the night after that too!)
Today as I am writing this, I have wrapped up in it and I feel relaxed, it really calms my anxiety down. It's magical.
Thank goodness my boyfriend got a travel case for me too because I won't like sleeping without it.
I really think this is a great self-care tool and helps with the anxiety that causes insomnia. You feel grounded and yet so cozy. I will recommend this product to everyone though, because I haven't slept this good in a VERY long time.
