WEIGHTED BLANKETS FOR A SOOTHING NIGHT'S SLEEP

The blanket allow constant stimulation through touch and pressure to the skin, which is thought to cause changes in sensory nerve endings

This stimulation can switch on the parasympathetic nervous system — encouraging rest and digestion by releasing endorphins, dopamine and serotonin. 

Together, these can lower heart rate, reduce anxiety, relax muscles and steady breath. 

Weighted blankets may also boost melatonin production and even help relieve bodily pain by down-regulating threat and creating a sense of calm and safety.
