i did this and slept in like 30 minutes. usually takes 3 hours. wowie, what a lifehack.

having something to hug onto or to just have besides you is surprisingly nice. when you pull back, blanket 1 moves your direction. when you lean in, you feel that movement from behind.

something something deep pressure maybe. it’s not that deep. i have weighted blankies but they are too exhausting to deal with and… they are okay but i usually remove them at somepoint.

but this!!! this is it, maybe. who knows.

i wish you a wonderful day and sweet dreams (for later… or now)

    I am an “always hot” kind of person, and I have similar reservations about this technique.

    I sleep under a flat sheet, usually with a leg poking out. I have a second, cotton blanket that I can layer on top of my torso if the flat sheet isn’t enough, but to cover my entire body with the cotton blanket would be too hot most nights. Unless it’s the dead of winter or I have a fever, I need to be able to free a leg out from under the blankets at any given time. Being wrapped up like in this image would make falling/staying asleep even harder.

    It’s also why I don’t make my bed. Tucking the blanket under the sides of the bed just means having to undo it all when it’s time to sleep. Besides, it doesn’t make much sense to “make a bed” when you don’t use a comforter.
