I had a very difficult time sleeping last night due to some new noise generated by the heater system (not sure why it started now, but it's an awful deep noise that I can't sleep through... despite it being quieter in terms of decibels than the ambient noise in the room... and yes, I have a SPL meter)... so I read up on white noise generators and proceeded to place an order on the spot.
Ok, so I'll be getting a white noise generator in a few days... well, on one of the pages that I read, I saw mention of a weighted blanket, which sounds very interesting to me. Right now, I have more blankets on my bed than is needed for warmth, mostly because I like the added pressure (IMO, it's actually a little hot with how high the thermostat is set at night here...).
Now, there's a BIG difference between several normal blankets and the 20 (!) pound weighted blanket that's recommended for an adult of my size (not to mention expense)... so I thought I'd post about it here and get opinions before pulling the trigger.
1. Do they help to get better sleep?
2. Are they comfortable?
