Falling asleep has never been easy for me. I usually toss and turn in bed before finally getting some shut-eye.
I’ve experimented with weighted blankets in the hope of calming my restlessness, but I always ended up waking up at 3 a.m., feeling hot and anxious.
That’s when I came across the Hug Sleep Sleep Pod, a well-known full-body swaddle for adults that claims to offer soothing pressure without the weight and heat of a traditional weighted blanket.
The product is marketed for “anxious sleepers,” leading me to wonder if being wrapped up like a burrito could actually reduce nighttime anxiety instead of increasing it.
I was intrigued by the idea of whether being snugly swaddled like a baby could help adults with restlessness, so I decided to give it a shot. After all, if swaddling can benefit babies, why not give it a try for fidgety grown-ups?
Over three weeks, I used the Hug Sleep’s Hooded Sleep Pod every night in hopes that it would help me fall asleep more easily.
