Thoughts on the blanket....well I like it. I'm still waking up in the night but falling back asleep faster and sleeping deeper. Going to give it time. My kids really like it. My teenage son even said it was very comforting. He has some depression so it might be good for him to try a few nights. My daughter loves the thing but kicked it off in her sleep the one night she tried it.
I do sleep warmer with it.... downside. It works right now because the weather is cooler and I love opening the windows at night. Summer might not be so enjoyable. I like the weight...not totally sure why but it reminds me of the old denim quilts I used to have. It isn't as warm as those, thank goodness.
As for anxiety, it's hard to tell right now. I think it'll take awhile to notice that. But I'm slowly sleeping better. It's a step.
I've been told the same thing....a holiday or a massage!
Yes I need a massage...I need one every other day for a couple of months but who is going to pay for that?!
