How did weighted blankets improve our sleep as a couple?
My husband and I have always struggled with sleep issues. He has reoccurring insomnia and I am a sleepwalker. So for many years, we would spend the night waking each other up.
One of the things that would trigger my sleepwalking was actually my husband's restless leg and tossing and turning. Which would then make me move or talk in my sleep, which then woke him up. Then he would struggle to go back to sleep, and that would wake me up, and then I would fight to get back to sleep and try not to wake him up. We were terrible sleepers!
A few months ago, we discovered that if my husband slept under a weighted blanket, he actually went to sleep faster and didn't thrash around in his sleep. Which then helped me to stay asleep all night.
Now we can't sleep without them! It's amazing to be able to sleep all night and wake up feeling rested!
