I’d need at least 50 lbs to keep me from rolling on my stomach. I also have the tendency to sleep on the arm nerve that puts it to sleep while also laying on my shoulder socket that strains the tendons.
Seems like it's personal preference. I used her 14lber and it made me feel slightly nauseous. My brother has the 25lber and loves it.
Some people say they find it comforting. Like a full body hug or something, idk. I didn't like it, that's for sure.
I don't think they're actually supposed to physically stop you from tossing and turning. I'm pretty sure the goal is just to create some mild pressure and a sensation of being wrapped, which (in theory) reduces anxiety, maybe helping you sleep more deeply. The reduced tossing and turning is a secondary effect of sleeping better. I'm not sure how great the science is on any of this, the studies I've seen have been very small. Keep tossing around the idea of getting one for my girlfriend, who doesn't sleep soundly.
I compare it to how there's like those weighted jackets for dogs to wear during thunder storms to keep them from being scared. It's a sensation of being held. For me, I have one because my wife likes the fan on even when it's fucking freezing outside (read: anything below 60 degrees). It adds that extra warmth and holds in body heat really well. Normally I'd just cuddle up with her, but she sweats like crazy in her sleep and I don't enjoy waking up with my clothes all wet like I've been pissed on. Some people enjoy that kink, but it's not for me.
When it holds me down, will it whisper in my ear "you know you like it" and is there a way I can program a safe word into it?
Ex got us a set, mine is 40 lbs, hers was 20. 40 lbs. is like Crossfit for sleep. It's awesome, unless conditions aren't perfect. If you get hot, or want to move or anything...nope. 20 lbs. is kind of nice, especially on my legs after a brutal workout.
I need a wool blanket in a warm room. Hotter I am the better I sleep. If I wake up drenched in sweat it was a good night. I got Tom Brady’s super duper sleepwear. The weighted blanket thing interest me. If they aren’t ungodly priced might try one. Though the concept though? Swaddling blankets for adults?
Are you really tired of Disney or a certain Disney character? Well here you go. https://walts.kitchen/
You scared me. For a second there thought I thought you meant they found a way to ban all those awesome racist cartoons they used to make.
Are you sure? Because the one below is probably the most racist cartoon you’ll ever see, and it scores a LOT higher than the Ghostbusters reboot did: ...I am aware Betty Boop is not Disney but FUCK dude... The fact is a lot of people (like RMMB alumni) come from Dark Era of the internet when humour was funny and this shit is laughed at. And kept alive.
There is no “gentle racial joking” to be had there. That is three chained-up pickaninnies crying for watermelon. Fangs-out racism at its finest.
