kids totally can have insomnia. i used to stay up half the night reading because i was incapable of falling asleep.
i have been thinking about getting a weighted blanket too! but i live in a yurt, which is more temperature-variant than houses generally are, and as a consequence i sleep under two regular comforters plus a massive down comforter that easily weighs ~15 pounds - and has a tendency to slip off one side of the bed and drag a bit, creating more apparent weight - and i'm not convinced that a weighted blanket would be very much different than my existing heavy pile of blankets. i would be very curious to hear more as the weeks go by!
