Weighted Blankets: What You Need to Know #shorts

Should you tuck into bed with a weighted blanket? These trendy blankets are heavier than normal ones. The weight of the blanket puts pressure on your body as you sleep under it, almost like a warm hug. Weighted blankets may have health benefits, too.

What Are Weighted Blankets?
These blankets have extra heft. They may be made of heavier materials or layers of fabric filled with tiny glass or plastic pellets. They can weigh anywhere from 3 pounds to more than 20. It feels like the lead apron your dentist places over you when you get an X-ray. #sleep #insomnia #weightedblanket #sleepscience #webmd #shorts
