SomniaLuxury Gravity Weighted Blanket

About

Many medical professionals worldwide agree that deep pressure stimulation helps relax and soothe the human body. Weighted blankets use this simulation of pressure to offer relief and therapeutic support. A weighted blanket is, in essence, a blanket with extra weight in it. Weighted blankets provide deep touch pressure or DTP. DTP is about gently applying pressure to the body to increase the release of serotonin, a chemical in the body that promotes relaxation.

Product Features

• Mimics a hug
• Weighted blankets make it feel like someone's holding you without having to actually be near anyone. "This blanket feels like you're receiving the most comforting hug without feeling constrained and hot".
• Improve sleep quality
• When you’re stressed, your heart beats too quickly. When this happens, lowering your heart rate can lead to overall feelings of calmness. Pressure calms you by activating your parasympathetic nervous system, which lowers your heart rate when you’re stressed. A lower heart rate leads to the overall feeling of calmness that the blanket provides. 
• Reduces Anxiety
• A weighted blanket is a safe way to lower your stress level and help you reach a relaxed state. The “relaxed state” results from serotonin production, which is necessary to release melatonin - the sleep hormone, which helps determine when we go to sleep and wake up based on our circadian rhythm.
• Deep Pressure Touch
• Deep pressure touch triggers the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which are the two major feel-good hormones for your brain. Both these beneficial compounds can combat stress, depression, and anxiety, giving you an emotional pick-me-up after a quick snuggle session.
