Do Weighted Blankets Really Do Anything?

Weighted blankets are used to reduce anxiety and improve sleep, with some research supporting their effectiveness. They are heavier than regular blankets, often filled with beads or chains, and are popular in mental health communities.

The potential placebo effect complicates research, but many find relief regardless of the reason.
