This is a Biohacking Reviews episode, where we review; products, supplements, health tech, practices... whatever is new and whatever we've been trying. One from the vault and in this episode I explore why neuroscientist Matthew Walker actually rates weighted blankets as a genuine sleep aid — and why athletes, insomniacs and anxious over-thinkers are all crawling underneath them.
