It depends! Pressure can feel comforting to me depending on the context; I love when my cat is laying on me, or cuddling up with my partner. But when it comes to sleeping, I don't really like pressure on me, just feels too restrictive.
I have a problem sleeping without something heavier on me. Which sucks in the summer. I’ve wished forever to be able to sleep with at the least a sheet, but it’s not enough.
I feel like mine has been bothering my back lately, might be a change in activity level though. I do find the weight comforting and think it helps me sleep deeper.
I like having extra blankets on the bed, but I can't stand weighted blankets. I tried my friends weighted blanket and I was like, get my out of this thing! It was too heavy, felt like I was being smothered.
I've tried a weighted blanket that my friend has for anxiety - and it was too much for me, I almost throughout the year just have the cover without the duvet itself, just so I have some kind of cover.
It doesn't also help that I sweat abnormally so I have to be careful to end up into a puddle in my sleep
It’s actually much more comfortable for two people in one bed to have separate blankets. :) might be worth trying two twin blankets. Then your partner could have what they prefer and you could have weighted.
My wife and I started sleeping with separate blankets a while ago. I like to sleep with 2 heavy comforters even in the summer but my wife gets hot while she sleeps. A lot of the times we end up sharing a single blanket by morning but I don't think I could fall asleep like that.
Also I just realized while typing this that I do like weight on my body!
I tried a weighted blanket once and never stopped. I had to travel for work and told myself it was silly to bring it, but then had a hard time sleeping without it. I added makeshift weight to my bedding - all the hotel towels, extra blanket, fake couch rug thing, and vowed I'd just travel with heavy luggage from now on.
Depends on my level of stress. For high stress levels I like weighted blankets, for moderate stress levels I imagine a dog could be great (I'm not allowed to keep one in my flat), for low stress level a standard double blanket is nice.
I mean weighted vests do exist in real life but are usually aimed a kids, like so many autism things tend to. Actually just looked it up weighted vests seem to be sold for "training" as well.
Yep, the training is called rocking. I had a friend who used one while hiking, its cool cuz it has a bunch of small metal plates that you can put on and take off to adjust the weight so you can work your way up
