Hi. My father has been restless at night and waking up. I tried a weighted blanket last night and it seems to help a little. He did wake up once but wasn't as agitated as he usually is. It seemed easier to get him back to bed. Does anyone find this helps? It's been a couple of months of disruptive sleeping. I am trying anything I can.
