I have a weighted blanket that I use in winter. (It’s been packed away as we moved house recently and I’m currently living with my mum until we find our new house) but I think it helps my get more refreshing sleep. I just get too hot in other months (I get very very warm when I sleep- my fiancé always jokes that I feel hotter than the surface of the sun ).
I’ve recently (just a few days) tried a pillow spray which makes me feel lovely and calm.
I also used to do yoga breathing/some movements before bed when I struggled to sleep. Just ones from YouTube. I think I searched “yoga for sleep” or “relaxation yoga”.
It really helped me not obsess over things that had happened or things that were going to happen.
I don’t know if you’d find any of that helpful! I hope you do, @tentoedsloth
