A weighted blanket is a therapeutic blanket filled with materials like glass beads. It is designed to provide gentle, even pressure across the body.
This pressure mimics the feeling of a comforting hug, by activating the parasympathetic nervous system which helps to promote calm and relaxation.

How weighted blankets help with insomnia
The gentle, evenly distributed pressure from the weighted blanket helps calm the nervous system. This reduces the levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and increases serotonin and melatonin, which are crucial for sleep.
By creating a sense of security and comfort, weighted blankets can help you fall asleep faster and to enjoy a more restorative sleep for longer.
Anxiety? Don't worry about it!
Anxiety triggers a number of responses in your body that prepare it for “fight or flight” mode. The pressure from a weighted blanket activates your parasympathetic nervous system triggering a sense of calm and relaxation which switches off your “fight or flight” mode.
Weighted blankets have been proven to lower heart rate and reduce restlessness contributing to a greater sense of calm.
Are you serious about recovery?
If you live an active life either mentally or physically, you know just how important recovery is. The good thing is that most of this recovery happens when we do very little - sleep. The bad news is that as many as 20% of people experience very low-quality sleep.
