"I'm often told that students have trouble concentrating. I then like to recommend the weighted blanket to help them calm down."

How did you come across the concept of therapy blankets?

Every day, as a sleep coach, I hear from exhausted parents whose children are not sleeping or sleeping very poorly. Fortunately, it doesn't have to stay that way! Sleep coaching is a needs- and attachment-oriented approach that can provide concrete help to these families, significantly improving their quality of sleep and, consequently, their quality of life. Through coaching, the reasons why a child sleeps poorly are evaluated, and the optimal approach to improve the situation is determined for each individual case.

How do you feel about using a weighted blanket?

In my continuous search for solutions to sleep problems, I became aware of the weighted blanket: The weight of the blanket, which acts on the entire body, helps children and adolescents to relax. In addition, the release of melatonin, a hormone important for sleep, is stimulated, while at the same time fewer stress hormones are produced. Thus, the blanket represents a very suitable method to improve falling asleep and the overall sleep situation.

In your opinion, in which medical areas is the use of therapy blankets beneficial?

The therapeutic blanket works for all ages. In my work as a social worker at a school, I am in daily contact with children, teenagers, and parents. I often hear that students of various ages have difficulty concentrating, paying attention, or sitting still. In such cases, I also frequently notice that the affected children and teenagers have trouble relaxing and falling asleep in the evenings. I then gladly recommend the therapeutic blanket to "wind down" and fall asleep more easily. After all, restful sleep is a basic requirement for being able to concentrate in class the next day, or for adults, to perform well in their daily professional lives.

Meanwhile, my whole family sleeps with a weighted blanket. And my children, in particular, especially love the cozy fabric.

A great product that I highly recommend.
