My daughter uses a compression sheet on the advice of our OT. She loves it.

If it continues for a long time, I would consider ruling out and potential medical issues

Maybe add a weighted blanket? They have different hefts. I bought a Minecraft one for my son that is relatively light. He likes to sleep with it on every night.

@A MyAutismTeam Member It would probably be trial and error to see if an adult would benefit. I'm sure some do find it helpful.

Are this weighted blankets still helpful for adults?
