I will also look into getting a fan, or getting some white noise/ocean music.

I would love a weighted blanket, but I get unusually hot really quickly. Is the weighted blanket heavier fabric as well as weight? If I could have one that was made out of light fabric, I might be able to tolerate it.

Thank you both!

Sarah is right, I have a weighted blanket and I love it :3 I live in Florida so I get hot easily too, I used to layer blankets but that made it hard to get to sleep because of the heat. My weighted blanket is made of a light fabric, I think cotton, and it seems like it has some sort of thin padding inside around the rocks, which are evenly spread out around the blanket. There's a few inches on the sides that are unweighted, I personally don't like that much but it's useful if you get one to cover your bed- the unweighted sides can hang off the bed without pulling the blanket down. I don't sleep alone in my bed, so I just have the blanket covering me only

It was only about $124 for a 15 lb 42 x 60" blanket. I think I might look into getting a weighted/compression vest around feburary, depending on how school goes for me.
