Weighted blankets provide deep pressure stimulation, which has been shown to reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and promote relaxation. The gentle pressure from the blanket triggers the release of serotonin and melatonin, hormones that help regulate mood and sleep. Research suggests that the pressure can help calm the nervous system by reducing cortisol levels and heart rate. Weighted blankets are particularly beneficial for people with anxiety, insomnia, or sensory processing issues. The consistent pressure provides a sense of security and can help reduce restlessness and racing thoughts that often interfere with sleep.
