Heavy sleeper

-

Insomniacs, listen up: a weighted blanket could be the answer to a good night’s kip. Research from Sweden has found that people with depression and other mental health issues slept better when using an eight-kilo weighted blanket. After four weeks, they were less likely to wake up during the night, experience­d lower daytime sleepiness and even had fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety.
