Sleep is hard to come by but highly sought-after. Once we become parents, we enter into this phase of life where we have to function sleep-deprived with no end in sight. It's hard at first, but it gets easier as the kids get older. And once we're able to carve out enough sleep each night, we crave it and make every effort to have as restful of a night as possible. For some, this means buying a weighted blanket.
According to Penn Medicine, these blankets, which can weigh anywhere from 2 to 20 pounds, have many benefits. Tucking yourself in with one of these blankets may reduce stress and bring comfort for anxiety and can help drift off to a restful sleep quicker.
There are so many weighted blankets on the market now, and so many of them look the same: blah. We want to have the best sleep we can get, but we don't want our bed to look boring. So we've scoured the internet and found weighted blankets that are as gorgeous as they are cozy. Now we can't wait to get a good night's sleep at long last.
