What are the effects of sleep disorders?

Insomnia can be triggered by a wide variety of factors and can affect many areas of everyday life. It has a significant impact on your ability to concentrate and be productive, and also increases your risk of developing heart problems or diseases such as diabetes and obesity.

How can a weighted blanket help with sleep problems?

To counteract this, a weighted blanket can significantly improve the quality and duration of your sleep. This, in turn, has a positive effect on work and everyday life – a well-rested body reacts less irritably to others. It has been proven that through the exerted deep pressure, the weighted blanket can lower the level of cortisol (the so-called stress hormone), which gives a feeling of relaxation and well-being.

The weight of the blanket affects the muscles, tendons and joints, thanks to which deep feeling is supported more intensively and the body can be better controlled. The happy hormone serotonin and the sleep hormone melatonin are responsible for this, the release of which is supported after the blanket is covered. Muscles and nervous system relax, anxiety is reduced and the body can more easily release the accumulated stress and tension.

The blanket can be used not only at night, but also during the day. In today’s fast-paced world, a short break can work wonders and give your body a chance to regenerate and recharge your strength during the day.

The summary:

• A weighted blanket has a relaxing effect on the body and accelerates falling asleep.
• Better sleep has a positive effect on everyday life and work.
