What effects do sleep disorders have?

Insomnia can be triggered by a variety of factors and affect many areas of daily life. Concentration and productivity are significantly influenced, and the risk of heart problems or diseases such as diabetes and obesity also increases.

How can a weighted blanket help with sleep problems?

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

The weight of the blanket affects the muscles, tendons, and joints, so the body is perceived more intensely and can be better controlled. This is due to the happiness hormone serotonin and the sleep hormone melatonin, whose release is promoted when the weighted blanket is applied. The muscles and nervous system relax, anxieties are reduced, and the body can overall recover more easily from 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 the body a chance to recover and recharge energy throughout the day.

Summary:

• Weighted blanket has a relaxing effect on the body and promotes faster falling asleep
• Better sleep has a positive effect on everyday life and work
