One of the most significant ways calming blankets improve overall quality of life and promote wellness is by decreasing the symptoms and effects of insomnia. Between 50 and 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders.
Chronic, long-term insomnia can have devastating effects on the body such as obesity, mood disturbances, high blood pressure, and an increased risk of stroke and heart disease.
Now, more than ever, we need help getting to sleep, and weighted blankets can be one of the most effective natural methods to ease the symptoms and effects of insomnia.
The weighted blanket’s evenly applied pressure stimulates the PNS to calm down the SNS, promoting relaxation and producing endorphins.
Since stress, anxiety, and general over-stimulation throughout the day are the most common contributors to insomnia, one of the natural benefits of weighted blankets is decreased insomnia symptoms and the increase the ability to fall asleep naturally and stay asleep longer.
