Some claim that weighted blankets help them fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Others simply enjoy their extra coziness. In this video, join sleep expert, Dr. Michael Breus, as he describes how to choose the best weighted blanket based on your body size and other needs.

NGL I was about to buy one until he said that
I was very suspicious about it but it seems to work (most of the time). Why it works? I don't know but like you said doc, you still need to take care of all the "other issues" to have proper sleep! Thanks for your simple but informative video. ❤❤❤❤
very informative. I've been thinking of getting a weighted blanket. I'm a light sleeper, my other form of sleep aid is nature noises. I love rainfall so that helps me sleep.
Get one I just did it's awesome.
@@unavailablename8548Which weight did you get?
Great video-thanks!
They r very hard to wash. I recommend to get smaller than ur bed size. Get someone STRONG to help u wash and dry, then hang dry on a heavy duty rack or a towel covered table for at least 2 days. Laundromat was essiest. Then put a duvet cover over it. If u have pets, put 2 duvet covers over it. It becomes literal dead weight. I have restless legs, anxiety, and I get cold during the winter. They r a must.
Thank you for your comment, this is a good point and I hate to admit that I rarely wash my weighted blankets (but should)
I have ADHD and never even heard of these but ordered one.
Did it work?
@ I know I fall asleep faster but I also take melatonin. Mine is 17 pounds and it’s perfect. It only took a few hours for me to get used to it.
Everything sounds good, but considering it's a blanket and for a region with hot weather conditions, I don't think it would be helpful. Instead, it might trap heat and cause discomfort.
That's a good point! But several weighted blankets are now made with an "open weave", so you get the benefits of the weight without any of the heat buildup. Check out the Bearaby and the Gravity blankets on this page: sleepdoctor.com/best-weighted-blankets/
Only for you
Amie got me one I love it 😁
Exact explanation of weighted blankets.
I have sleep apnea and use a cpap machine. Just bought one of these blankets you're saying I shouldn't use it?
Which blanket do you prefer?
Sleep like a baby you might hear a baby singing also
Why can't you use it, if you have sleep apnea.
Just use it
It's because if you have sleep apnea you sometimes stop breathing during sleep for small periods of time, and a weighted blanket can worsen it with the added weight on your chest
