Anybody here tried one of these or own one?

I have no problem sleeping and don't have anxiety (which is what it helps from what I have read) but I wake up at 4 AM on the dot every morning even on weekends. Mostly due to how early I have to get up for work on weekends. Apparently this thing helps you stay asleep.

Is that all bull shite or does it actually work?

Or you can just sleep under a Lead blanket like me so Superman can’t see you naked

*Gravity* Blanket.

I actually helped fund the initial investment for the guy who created them. They are prettyyyy awesome if i do say so myself.

Great gift for the S/O!

Wife bought one. It’s 15 pounds. It’s awful. Feel free to pick up in Lake Charles.

People love them. Don't just go buy a random one from TJ Maxx. There's a quiz you take online that takes into account your weight, what position you sleep in, etc. and suggests the right one for you.

Wife has one. She loves it.

I tried using it one night, and didn't sleep/feel any different. Maybe it takes a few nights to get used to or something.

I have one it’s really good for anxiety and stress if I don’t feel like taking a Klonopin.

What about it do you not like? Bad quality? Not your thing?

If these things are so heavy, don’t you get hot under them?

Mine is really heavy they base off your height and weight but they are pretty thin. I usually put my comforter on top of it but I keep my house pretty cold. I’m 6’2 185 and I think mines like 35 pounds

I’m a stomach sleeper. It feels like you have someone standing on your back. Plus it’s in a plush fabric which makes you feel like a big sow in the bacon line. Hot and sweaty.

Have you tried melatonin? I thought it was BS because I'm the type of person who usually needs a higher dosage of actual medications, but just the 5mg dose of melatonin has done wonders for my sleep. (Less is more with this, you don't benefit from taking 3x the dosage)

It doesn't put you to sleep like a sleeping pill would. It makes you sleep deeper and longer once you are asleep.

Actually now that I’m looking at the tag, it’s 25 not 15.

Melatonin does an excellent job of getting you to sleep but I always wake up like 5 hours later.
