Weighted blankets have become a staple relaxation and sleep aid for adults and children alike. The sensation of sleeping under the weight of these blankets releases ?happiness? hormones that can improve sleep and assist with anxiety, PTSD and certain mental health disorders. The science behind these blankets involves Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS) - a method employed by Psychiatrists that is proven to raise Serotonin levels and relax the nervous system by applying pressure to the body. These blankets can also mimic the same physiological responses brought on by a hug?a rise in Oxytocin, the ?love? hormone, that helps lower blood pressure, slow heart rate, and increase our bond with others.
