Jaimie, the weighted blankets can be made to order. And at the prices they go for, they need to be! That said, I know Sila has one that is lightweight for the same reason, and she really likes hers. I'm sure she'll come around and tell you about it.

White noise is what I have to do. I remember it really surprised my OT when, as she was testing me to see if I could tell if my arm was bent or not, I told her that I could tell by hearing it move. lol I can't sleep with music or television, but air conditioner or fan works well for me. Sometimes I won't hear it as much when my hair is wet. Also, I have the fuzzy covers on my pillows (they are the memory foam pillows, so they have nice covers). I find that muffles a lot of movement sound.

As for just general getting to sleep, I have some luck when I'm having trouble if I put my neck weight on. Also, I tend to do progressive relaxation from the toes up. You know, where you repeat to yourself that such and such body part is relaxing and move up. That and meditation help me a good bit, but I've been practicing that for years. It's definitely worth a try.

I'm liking this thread; let's keep the suggestions coming!
