What Is A Weighted Blanket?
The weighted blanket is a heavier blanket than regular quilts. It can be weighted with several materials, such as sand or glass microbeads, and this is what causes its heaviness.
This heaviness causes a feeling of absolute well-being: the body relaxes and the mind lets go.
The weighted blanket is the best alternative to fight against stress and insomnia in a natural way, without resorting to drugs such as sleeping pills or anxiolytics.
The Benefits Against Stress And Insomnia
In contact with the body, the heaviness of the weighted blanket releases hormones of well-being (serotonin) and sleep (melatonin) while reducing the stress hormone (cortisol).
Your body and mind are calmer, your heart rate decreases and your blood pressure is felt. You are then immersed in a soothing and relaxing universe.
Being soothed allows you to fall asleep faster and get better quality sleep. The weighted blanket reduces your insomnia problems by 50%.
