Also wonderful for us ladies after the menopause! Revolutionary Dream!

Well, I'm 52 years old, just in time for menopause. I always slept well until menopause. Then I woke up between 1am and 3am from night sweats. Grrr. Hormone therapy helped, but even after the night sweats subsided, I was left with a gaping hole in the middle of my sleep cycle. I removed all bedside lamps, clocks and made sure there were no electronics in the bedroom (but I can't tell my lovely husband he can't read his Kindle in bed, he at least keeps it very dark). We added a white noise machine that really cut down on the cat's nocturnal activities that were bothering us. But I still didn't sleep like I had slept most of my life. I read about gravity blankets and wondered if my work anxiety was part of what was going on. I didn't order it because it seemed like a silly and rather expensive experiment. Then I went on a business trip and the hotel I was staying at had a light blanket and I couldn't sleep until I took all the towels out of the bathroom and covered the bed so the sheets were a little heavier. After that I slept much better. So I came home and ordered this blanket. Wow what an amazing difference. Someone wrote that the blanket is addicting and I can confirm it! I hate going in the mornings and I'll be there early to be with him. A note on getting hot: Yes, I still wake up in the middle of my sleep and I'm usually hot. I crawl out from under him and go to the bathroom. I go straight back to bed, snuggle up to her, and fall asleep again. I did NOT receive any of those fluffy cases, these things are made out of "microfiber" which means plastic and I knew it was going to get really hot. I just drape my gravity blanket over a cotton sheet and comforter and feel comfortable all night. I love this stuff, can't believe how it has affected my sleep quality and that later in my cycle I'm sleeping and having more dreams. All is well.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • There are minuses
