Reply to LPT: Heated blanket UNDER the sheets by ScoobyScience
Spouse just got me a heated mattress cover and I love it! Went from being piled so high with blankets that I could hardly move to having a sheet and comforter like a normal person (spouse likes to sleep in a cold room). Might you, this is meant to go under the fitted sheet. Make sure yours is too or there may be a fire risk.

Keep in mind that this article is talking about how kids born in the later part of the year are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, not that they are more likely to have ADHD. When compared with other kids in their grade they may seem less mature and less able to focus because they are developmentally less mature and less able to focus. This comes out in the wash later in life. Some of the kids will of course actually have ADHD, but some were just acting younger because they were younger.
