I've decided to start a new convention - threads that seem likely to open the proverbial Pandora's Box could be started with "PB:"
What the Research Says: Do Weighted Blankets Work?
It makes comparisons to something called deep pressure stimulation, which I've never heard of - like a deep massage, I think.
I ask for purely selfish reasons. I have always preferred to have a pile of blankets and since my wife is generally nice to me (Pavel's theory is that I owe my relatively young appearance to her and not to anything I might have done), that's what we have: a top sheet, a regular blanket on top of that, a heavy wool blanket on top of that and yet another blanket on top of that. She, OTOH, tells me she prefers a single, lightweight quilt.
We all know I'm crazy, but am I crazy about this? I really do prefer heavy blankets.
