  To be honest, I can't see anything wrong with it.
  
  Don't leave it under a blanket and it'll be fine....

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  Thanks I'm just concerned because before it looked really lively but now all the leaves are droopy and damaged. Thanks for the tip

  It might benefit from re potting next year but other than that, I agree with Fairy.
  If it persists in having a lie down on the bed, don't let it pull the blanket up

  Thanksyou 😂 it just git caught under it and stayed overnight, do you think it will heal itself? Thanks

  To be serious for a mo...........Dracena leaves will often curve downwards, particularly on older plants.  It's nothing abnormal.
  The weight of the blanket has just put pressure on the leaves.  Impossible to tell on the pic but just check that the leaves haven;t been damaged at any point along their length/partially pulled away from the stem. If they have, just remove them.
  They are tough plants really. 

  Yes thanksyou. It's a young plant but I have cut off and removed most of the damaged leaves and there are new leaves coming. Thanks for all your help
