A weighted blanket helps decrease anxiety and reduce pain with deep pressure.

I swear by this eye mask because I cannot have sunlight or any light while I sleep. This mask is adjustable, the velcro eye pieces adjust as well. It's so soft. I wear fake lashes and they stay on while I have this mask on as well.
