Are you amongst the ones who struggle to fall asleep in a short time? Awake at night, staring at the roof or ceiling fan? Then you realize that, why are you not sleeping? Not getting enough or calm sleep is not good for the normal life schedule. 

Don’t worry! All this can be cured with a simple solution. The solution that helps you get back to sleep instantly without any time wastage lying in the bed. Your craving for normal or peaceful sleep can be satiated with the help of weighted products including weighted blankets, weighted toys, and more. 

Talking about weighted blankets, they are much more than regular blankets in terms of making, comfort, therapeutic, designing, etc. The weighted blankets are filled with glass beads that make the blankets heavier. 

As per many therapists, the weighted products are a one stop solution for insomnia, nighttime anxiety, stress, uneasiness while sleeping, and more. The weighted blankets are suggested as an effective cure for all sleep disorders. 

The use of weight as a therapy

The idea of using weight has been encouraged as a calming strategy and it does have some basis in current medical practice. The blankets or toys weigh differently for both children and adults. So after consulting a doctor they can be used at home while sleeping. 

As per Dr. Cristina Cusin, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, “Weighted blankets have been around for a long time, especially for kids with autism or behavioral disturbances. It is one of the sensory tools commonly used in psychiatric units. Patients who are in distress may choose different types of sensory activities — holding a cold object, smelling particular aromas, manipulating dough, building objects, doing arts and crafts — to try to calm down.”

The use of weighted blankets or weighted toys stimulates a comforting hug which can calm and settle the nervous system of the person. Thus, it comes out as an effective therapy for people who find it difficult to achieve a night of peaceful sleep.  

Weighing down anxiety

The first and foremost question is, do weighted blankets or weighted toys really work?
The simple answer to this is, during the daytime when people feel anxious they use fidget toys for fidgeting or relaxation. Similarly, if you are anxious while sleeping then weighted blankets or weighted toys can be helpful in achieving a peaceful sleep. It’s all about a gentle hug and a  calming therapy that a weighted blanket or weighted toy serves. 

Nothing better than these customized ones for kids

In addition, one thing that needs to be considered is that these weighted blankets and toys are custom made. They have some amazing creatives engraved on them. Especially for children, the blankets have numbers, alphabets, and other caricatures to interest the children.

Children who feel difficulty while sleeping can fall asleep within no time. The children can really enjoy a joyful time in bed either by holding the weighted toys or using weighted blankets.
