And for those of us who only sleep with the fan on, heavy blankets are totally out of the question.
However, do you know that you can sleep better when you’ve a heavier blanket?
Shocking?
Shocking.
Sleeping With Heavy Blanket
Now, how does that make sense? A heavier blanket applies more pressure onto your body, causing your body to ease up and calm down as compared to lighter blankets.
Light blankets are believed to perk up your senses as lighter touches tend to excite people (Fifty Shades of Grey much?).
The weighted blanket puts the same kind of pressure on us when we are being hugged and cuddled – the kind of feeling that gives us comfort and security.
Using a weighted blanket will allow more melatonin to be produced – hormones that are responsible for our sleeping patterns. Also, serotonin will be produced which helps you to maintain your memory.

It allows the brain to relax and eventually lull you to sleep. Also, it is recommended for those suffering from Parkinson’s disease.
