Sleeping under a heavy quilt reduces insomnia.

In addition, it can reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression. This conclusion was made by the staff of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. In a study of 120 participants with insomnia, there was a 59.4 percent reduction in insomnia in participants using heavier blankets. The 1.5-pound blankets reduced participants' insomnia by just 5.4 percent. Both groups had a complete remission rate, but in patients sleeping under heavy blankets, it was 12 times higher, reaching 42.2 percent.
