I'm exhausted. My sleep is not great. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm overheating under my weighted blanket, but I can't sleep without the weight. It's a 20 lbs blanket, but I have it folded in half so that its full weight is on me, because it's not heavy enough otherwise. The issue is that when it's folded in half, it gets hot. I've tried every solution under the sun to stay cool under it (besides purchasing the cooling cover for it because it's expensive).

So I'm left with two options:

1. How do I simply not need as much weight to sleep? How can I adjust my sensory needs?

2. How do I make my blanket heavier so that I don't need to fold it in half?

If anyone has any ideas for either one, I'd be very appreciative. TIA
