Weighted blankets are supposed to help with restlessness, anxiety and sleep. Originally developed for people with special needs, like autism, they are becoming more and more mainstream. They can get pretty pricey, but thankfully making your own is fairly straightforward.

I was overly ambitious and made the compartments for the filling beads really small, but you can get away with much bigger ones. That will save you a lot of time. You also don't need to make a quilt top, you can easily use plain fabric and get the same functionality.
