I wish there was some sort of blanket you could cover yourself with but it didn’t make you warm it just provided the sensation of being covered because some nights it’s just too hot for a blanket but I need something covering me so it’s a choice between boiling to death or being completely vulnerable to monsters

What you are looking for is called a weighted blanket! They come in different sizes, types, and weights and you’d have to do some research to find the right one for you. Usually they’re made of a light, but reinforced fabric, and are filled with evenly space weights (mine is weighted with a type of plastic bead). Unless you have it made to keep you warm, they’re usually quite cool!

I actually live where 90°F is an average temp. and at night I often sleep with just the weighted blanket since it still provides a protective sensation without overheating me. It’s designed to help you feel grounded. 

Mine has a custom fabric (I picked an avengers one), is full sized, and weighs about 17 pounds (which is one of the heaviest ones, i think the average is about 10 or 11 lbs. but dont quote me on that).

It’s a great investment if you have trouble with disassociation and it’s fantastic for sensory processing disorder, adhd, autism, and anxiety!

OKAY BUT WHERE I CAN I BUY A THING???????????/

Here is a list of a bunch of places where you can buy weighted blankets, as well as instructions on how to make one yourself. 

If you are like me and you have neither money nor sewing skills, I made a tutorial for making a super cheap and extra easy weighted blanket right here.  It’s not as nice as these real ones, but it works just fine.  I sleep under it every night and its great.
