Sleep
Hi I am still having problems with sleeping through the night & have been doing some research does anyone have experience of weighted
blankets if so what is your opinion of them I would appreciate any feed
back,

Thank you Keith for your question on weighted blankets for PD. This is a good question for your movement disorder neurologist, since it may be contraindicated due to pre-existing conditions or other factors pertaining to PD. Best wishes! Marc M., Moderator, parkinsonsdisease.net
Keith I have found a weighted blanket too heavy to be comfortable. I am very small and cannot find one that lets me feel able to turn over easily even though they come in various weights. I do have friends who love them and say they help them sleep better. I agree with Marc that it is wise to check with your neurologist before investing in one.
