Also, an excuse for your loved one to get you things while you're under it.

Seems to be kind of a Thundershirt for humans - same effect. I had a dog that was extremely scared of thunderstorms. After trying various doggie downers - which drugged my dog, which I did not like, and had to be given in advance of a storm to be effective - not exactly ideal - I was told about "Thundershirts."

I orderd one and it was amazing how well it worked. He calmed down immediately and usually laid down and slept. This also helped keep the other 3 I had the time from getting nervous from his behavior.

Here's a picture from their website:

I really need a weighted blanket.
Had one but after washes it has lost its weight

The past few years I've begun using flannel sheets, a woolen blanket and my duvet as I've moved to an area that is quite wintry. It is reminiscent of living even further north when I was a child and my bed was up againsts the window. I had several wool blankets and a quilt and always felt that I was in a very comfortable embrace. Just received a weight blanket as a gift last weekend and it is heavenly! Been having the best deep and calming sleeps. I highly recommend this. 💖

This reminds me of tightly wrapping your newborn! Have our kids actually been forgotten how much they are a blessing? Is this what we resort to??? HUG everyone, a hug matter!!. I hug everyone, we all need to feel the LOVE...give it...it is FREE!!!
