Weighted blankets?

[rz]

I've been sleeping with a "weighted blanket" most of my life. I've always had to have something moderately heavy on my legs to sleep, even during warm weather. I sleep hot too, but still need the weight. My brother told me years ago he is the same way. It's a pain when you're visiting someone in the summer and they don't have any blankets in their guest rooms. Hotels are notorious for not having any kind of blanket in the room during warm weather. I've been known to use a pillow over my legs if I have to.

I currently use a fairly heavy wool blanket between my sheet and top cover to get the weight I need. It's only on my side of the bed as the wife thinks I'm crazy. Well, not really, but she is fine sleeping with just a sheet.
