Everything you've heard about using a weighted blanked is true. It genuinely has helped me sleep better over the past couple of years. They are pricey, but worth the extra Zs.

As an athlete your room is definitely going to smell, so having something to help freshen up the room would be extremely helpful. I recommend buying an incense burner and some sticks to help with any odors. Of course it can look aesthetic too.

Maybe you don't want to get incense the next best things are candles. Scented ones create a certain ambience. Go get yourself some, just don't burn the house down.
