Never in my life did I expect one of my product tests to be this popular and crash websites across the country! That was what happened when a weighted blanket deal started to trend this past August. Today, we all get a better opportunity to have a solid night's sleep and reduced stress.
For years, weighted blankets have been recommended by doctors and sleep therapists for those living with ADHD, autism, emotional distress and aching bones. Today that same sleep technology can benefit even the most restless of sleepers.
The feeling of a weighted blanket is designed to replicate the sensation of being hugged or held, which is why weighted blankets have been used for years to reduce anxiety in children. Weighted blankets provide what experts call “deep pressure touch stimulation” or DPTS. If you are someone who struggles to fall asleep or stay asleep, a weighted blanket can make a world of difference.
Weighted blankets have been a popular tool over the past 20 years in Europe and have helped people achieve a better quality of deep sleep. Now they're being used commonly in American households and throughout our region.
Not all weighted blankets are created equal. Some are too heavy and others don't breathe. The blanket I found is the best in its class and now almost $100 off. The whole equation works out to about $0.35 per day over the course of one year for a better night's sleep!
