Celine has started sleeping much more peacefully thanks to her weighted blanket

“Actually, for as long as I can remember, I have always slept very badly. Since my childhood, as a small child, I had many nightmares, I dream very vividly and I just have a lot of dreams. In my youth, I used melatonin from the chemist for this.”

“At one point, I started an internship, and somehow I could not sleep before my morning shifts. So badly that at one point I did not sleep for an entire night. It was probably an unconscious kind of tension. That I was afraid of oversleeping and therefore could not sleep. The next night I had to work and so I fell asleep during the day. Especially towards the end, when we had a meeting.”

“As a child, I used melatonin from the chemist. Later I followed sleep therapy, where I was given breathing exercises. This helped somewhat, but my dreams remained very vivid. I moved a lot. At night I crawled all over my bed, and I woke up because I was stuck in the covers, which gave me a very claustrophobic feeling.”

“The first nights I mainly noticed that I still slept very restlessly. I really had to get used to it, but after a week I started sleeping more calmly. I moved less at night under that weighted blanket. When you lie under the blanket it is actually not heavy, but it does keep you in place.”

“I had one myself of 6 kg, which is now at my parents’, and I now have one of 7 kg, because I do notice that I like the feeling that it lies around me like that. Besides that, I noticed that I fell asleep more easily and that I also woke up more rested. Simply because I was less preoccupied with the poor sleep.”

“I can still have a restless night now and then where I wake up at night, but actually I always fall asleep again. In winter I still have my morning grumpiness, because it is still just dark, but I often wake up before my alarm. Then I notice that I have slept reasonably well and that I can get out of bed. I never had that before.”

“In summary, I just notice that I get through the day better. Of course, there are other things that still affect my sleep, such as what time I go to bed and evening shifts, but the weighted blanket is a good aid to improve my sleep quality.”

“I find the colour of the covers very nice: a beautiful, neutral colour that fits within my interior. The summer cover is very soft and the winter cover is really such a cosy fleece blanket that you just want to crawl under. The weighted blanket itself works wonderfully and I sleep much better under it. Ultimately, that is the greatest gain for me.”
