I have done a few experiments to try and improve my quality of sleep.
I have come to realize that I am a night person when it comes to creativity. I find that my mind has the most interesting ideas at night. I am not convinced that I am useless in the mornings but I am still trying to figure out how to get the most out of my creative side.
The most recent thing I tried to improve my sleep is using a weighted blanket. I had heard about that back when I was active on kickstarter. I saw a company advertise about the benefits of weighted blankets for a variety of problems. I found the concept interesting and decided to research some more. That led me to Amazon which already had many options available for much less than the kickstarter was charging. But I ended up losing interest and didn't buy it.
A week ago I remembered the blankets for some reason. I went to Amazon and searched to see if the prices had come down since the last time.
It had.
There were many people in the market selling a variety of them.
I had trouble selecting one over the other. There was very little difference besides the price. So I bought one from a new buyer that had a reasonable price.
The box arrived 2 days ago. And it was heavy. I know for a fact that Amazon will charge the seller a lot for something this heavy. So I believe I probably got it at their cost price.
I got a 20 pound blanket so it was difficult even to arrange my bed.
But when I went to sleep, it felt heavenly. I loved the feeling and found that I slept very well. The same thing happened on day 2 and I felt great when I woke up both days.
I am sold on the idea.
