The weight of the blanket stimulates our body and animates our system to produce serotonin and melatonin while also decreasing cortisol.  Known as deep pressure touch stimulation. The idea is simple and relates to swaddling babies, hugging each other for comfort or even giving dogs thunder blankets. Weighted blankets are used in therapeutics for years, but haven’t made to the personal household until recently. The SLEEPHIX blanket is designed to make you sleep better. Buy a blanket that’s roughly 10% of your body weight and get the sleep you need.
