Weighted blanket benefits for anxiety and sleep CNN 1/28/2021 By Kristen Rogers, CNN © Alamy Weighted blankets have become somewhat mainstream as some people feel that the blankets improve sleep quality. After my sister gave me a weighted blanket for Christmas, it became the gift that I didn t know I needed. It s one of the best things ever to happen to me. As someone with anxiety, I ve struggled with restful sleep: Falling asleep can take up to two hours, or I wake up at least twice during the night. The first night I started sleeping underneath a 15-pound weighted blanket, I slept straight through the night for the first time in months and felt more rested during the day. After a few days of good sleep, I learned that my sister had done her gift research she had read that people with anxiety tended to feel more grounded when using the blankets.
