#12I bought a weighted blanket just to test if there were any possible benefits for myself. I do prefer it, but do not need it. The same goes for a bidet.
My advice? Keep testing things...

I experimented a lot with different sleep gadgets. Weighted blankets felt suffocating, especially in Summer. What really worked at the end is just 2 large pillows (20x40in) that I put on either side of me under the blanket. The most satisfying and cozy experience, improved my sleep quality.

#15A 50lb dog has similar effects and a bit more utility outside of bedtimes.
But you don't have to walk your blanket.

I can confirm this. Poodles work well, I have one on me now.

I really liked how it felt but there was like a 50% chance of me getting sleep paralysis and feeling extreme terror, so my weighted blanket experiment only lasted a week.

I'm searching for a 100 pound blanket to test the sleep claim at the extremes. Hard to find though.

Ad Hominem - Circumstantial Description: The argument attacks a position by appealing to the vested interests of a person who holds the position. It would be more useful to explain what about the study is poorly reasoned or suspect.
I disagree, if you have a vested interested you're likely to cheat, not every kind of cheating is visible in a paper. If you e.g. pump out 100 studies and then make a perfect reasoning on the 1 study which had significant results in your favor, then what you did wrong can't be seen in the one paper you published. As long as the studies aren't preregistered, you have to discount those with vested interests.
11 other authors with no financial ties. The conflict of interest was expressed up front. The authors appear to be very aware of the limits of the study, including noting that they see no difference in subjective sleepiness, nor do they attempt to make any claims that the result will hold over long term use.
Frankly - The parent is right. This is a lazy fucking argument.
