Healed my chronic insomnia and IC/bladder issues
This weighted blanket changed my life! I have been struggling with chronic insomnia for years, as well as severe IC symptoms - it took way too long to figure out that the two worked synergistically to make sure neither went away (I couldn't sleep bc of the IC, but the IC/stress couldn't go away without sleep). I had tried everything but a weighted blanket to improve my sleep, but nothing worked (although I'll say that staying off electronics 1-2 hrs before bed is immensely helpful for a vampire like me). Enter: BEARABY. The moment I first l laid down with this blanket on top, I felt something special occur in my body. I was.... calm, deeply calm. I eagerly awaited bedtime to see if some magic was going to start healing me.... and it was pretty much instantaneous. I was sleeping for the first time in four years... actually FALLING asleep instead of lying awake all night. My IC symptoms have disappeared. I am now that person who travels with her blankie, I can't live without it! I tell everyone to get THIS weighted blanket. The looped design makes it breathable for those who get hot at night, and it's not like other blankets where all the weight gets shifted to one side. I am about 120 lbs and purchased the 15 lb blanket. I imagine the 10 lb blanket would work fine but I personally love the extra weight on me - and my cat loves to snuggle under the covers with it, too. This blanket is 100% worth the investment!!! Thank you Bearaby and I hope I can help spread the word for anyone struggling with insomnia and/or IC/bladder issues.
