Odd, but intriguing! Maybe we recover best with the pressure we had around us in the womb.
30% more melatonin in saliva throughout the night is not a small increase.

I have an extra blanket that I pull over me. It is still partially folded so has a little weight to it. It does feel more "comforting" with it than without it. Hard to explain.
I'm 78...and trust me...lotsa sleep problems at this age...probably because of lack of vigorous activity more than anything. You're simply not physically tired.

They have warm weighted stress relief coats for dogs which are said to calm and soothe frightened dogs, caused by stressors such as fireworks or lightning storms.

I was in the hospital a few years ago and they put one of those things on me. Hated it. I wouldn’t care if it turned my spit into 100% melatonin, I don’t want any part of those things. One of my coworkers just loved hers, though.

Whatta bout the benefits of a young, nubile woman climbing on top of a man to weight him down most of the night?

Try doing that to someone with cleithrophobia. They put one on me while I was in the hospital, telling me it would make me feel “comfy” My bp went off the scale.

If a weighted blanket increases melatonin 30%, imagine what a big 1500lb concrete slab would do!

At the dentist and under a heavy lead blanket...lying back on a nice comfy bed and waiting for the technician to adjust the x-ray source and receiver plate.....
I can feel sleep coming on....and am 80... so I guess it works for all ages.

I have a weighted blanket and use it in the colder months. I sleep on a king bed but bought a twin size weighted blanket. They are very heavy so just get a twin.

I don’t mean to be the wild and crazy one here, but a CBD edible and a 20 lb weighted blanket on a cold night will make you feel like a crystalis.

We used to sleep in puppy piles for safety and warmth.
Perhaps the weight tells our lizard brain that we are safe because we are not the one on the outside of the pile but inside.

Then I can’t sleep because the weighted blanket is too warm

Hmmm...
When I was a lot younger, I found another weight on top of me that was, eventually, sleep-inducing...
To: ConservativeMind
Would they send me the weighted blanket for their trials? I’m in!

“Weighted blankets found to increase melatonin (30% higher)”
No thanks, my skin is dark enough already.

How about when my dig dogs jump on on the bed and smother me when they think I am sleeping and don’t notice 150lbs of dogs creeping on.

Don’t know why they’d measure oxytocin though. Anyone who’s given birth will tell you that’s a hormone that is very present during labor
