It was more intensely red in real life. I struggled to fully capture it with the camera

I finally invested in one because I have been having so much trouble being comfortable enough to sleep.

I had to get a 10 lb one to make sure it wouldn’t be too heavy for me. And I had to get one that breaths enough so that I won’t get too hot.

They say it takes a little while to adjust to sleeping under a weighted blanket. I think I’m still in that adjustment period, so I don’t fully know yet whether it’ll help me sleep.

What I do know already is that being under it has an immediate calming affect for me. So, just for that, I am grateful now to have it.

I always knew being near natural water had this affect. But I didn’t realize how much just the sound of the moving water positively affected me. The visuals are definitely calming for me too, but the sound may have the greatest affect, probably because I can really feel it. It helps me relax and to breathe more normally, especially with ocean sounds— somehow, the rythym of the waves just reminds me to breathe 🌊

This reality allows me to listen to recorded versions of these sounds and experience the same affect I get when at the ocean or a river, or when it’s raining. Which is incredibly helpful because I cannot travel or spend as much time outdoors as I once did.
