The other night The Robinator and I were in bed and he asked..."I wonder what it is about heavy covers that make you sleep so well?" And then he promptly fell asleep.
Hmmmmm...
I can't sleep without heavy covers. It's always cold in our house because I can't sleep hot...but I have to sleep under covers. Like...if it's hot and I can't pull the bed covers over my head...I'm not sleeping much. And I need darkness. I turn into a straight sleep vampire. Cold, dark, heavy.
So...I started reading up on it and wow...seems that heavy covers release seratonins which help you sleep better. They even tell people suffering from insomnia to get heavier comforters and blankets.Interesting huh? I then started thinking about how I hardly ever get good sleep in hotel rooms and well...the comforters are never "heavy" enough. I can never get it "cold" enough and well...I always know that sliver of light from the hallway is right under the door.
UGH.
Then I thought about how people always say they sleep so well in our guest bedroom. Well...I know the comforter in there is way heavy because I used to use it on my bed before a tragic ink pen stain happened and it become a duvet. LOL! Yup...I slapped a duvet cover on that sucker and started using it in the guest bedroom because I KNOW how good it is.
It made me think about whether or not our guests benefit from the heavy comforter and don't even realize it.
It's that comfort thing too. Like a swaddled baby. They tell people with autism and aspergers to use them too. There is even an actual weighted blanket for sleep therapy but they aren't that attractive and they cost a grip but wow...pretty awesome if you ask me.
That said...are your bed covers heavy? Or light?
