Heavy blankets trial offers hope for cancer Patients' sleepless nights

This study is exploring whether weighted blankets can help improve sleep for adults with blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma. Researchers are testing if these heavier blankets, which provide gentle pressure, are practical and safe to use in an outpatient setting and if they might reduce sleep problems. The small trial involves 20 participants who report significant sleep difficulties and will use the blankets for two weeks while tracking their sleep quality and any side effects.
