When I slipped under the blanket, I felt like I was wrapped in a cocoon, as if the blanket were hugging me. Because I couldn’t physically move as much, I noticed that my thoughts weren’t racing as much either. I didn’t wake up once in the middle of the night, and after 7 hours of solid sleep, I felt so refreshed that I didn’t even need to stop for my iced coffee on the way to office.

當我蓋上重力毯彷彿毯子在擁抱著我。因為重量的關係，我不會像往常一樣翻來覆去，也發現我的思緒不會再停不下來。整晚一次也沒有醒來，在7小時的深沉睡眠後，我感到神清氣爽，甚至不再需要每天上班前來杯冰咖啡。

On the first night of my experiment, I laid down in bed and struggled to arrange the blanket on top of me because it was so heavy. But over the next two weeks, I began to feel a beautiful sense of calm when I’d cozy up underneath it before bed. Simply having it rested against me from the waist down was soothing in a way I hadn’t ever experienced. 

當我第一次使用重力毯時我躺在床上努力蓋著，但因為它實在太重了。但在接下來的兩個星期，當我在睡前蜷縮在重力毯裡時，我開始感受到美妙與平靜。就算只是蓋在腰部以下，我也感受到從未體驗過的安撫感。

For sleep specialist Dr. Raj, sleep is like a puzzle, which has different part to do it. Who is going to need this? people with anxiety! I’m not saying weighted blanket has the magic power to make you fall asleep by snapping fingers, but it’s something to add on. Weighted blanket is a BUZZ!

對睡眠專家Dr. Raj來說，睡覺就像是一幅拼圖，要滿足許多條件才能完成，使用重力毯產生的舒適感，很可能就是其中的一片。焦慮的人尤其需要！這並不是指重力毯擁有瞬間使人入睡的魔力，但這對入睡來說是一個加分的好選擇。重力毯絕對是一個有潛力的風潮。
