I need a link or info on where I can get a weighted blanket.
I've noticed recently that the reason the lunesta seems to help so much with my legs is because it makes my body feel heavy. However, the lunesta is no longer helping me sleep - it's taking 4-5 hours to kick in at all and it's minimal. Melatonin, however, always makes me sleepy but it does nothing for my legs. Then I just end up soooo tired, but can't sleep because my legs jerk me awake every 30 seconds and it's this special kind of hell.
So, I was thinking I would try a weighted blanket and see if that worked, since it seems to be the hypnotic portion of the lunesta that makes my body heavy so my legs don't jerk. I hate taking the lunesta and if it's not working that well anyway it's time to look at other alternatives.
I figured this would be the right place to ask...with all of the parents of sensory issued kids.
Thanks!
