Weighted Blankets: A Cozy Hug for Improved Sleep.
Reading
Weighted blankets are heavy blankets that some people use to sleep better. They are filled with things like glass beads or pellets to make them heavier.
Scientists aren't sure exactly how they work, but they think the weight might make people feel safe and calm. This could be because the pressure releases a hormone that makes us feel good.
Most adults can use a blanket that is about 10% of their body weight. But weighted blankets aren't safe for babies or people with some health problems.
There isn't a lot of research on weighted blankets, but some small studies show they might help with anxiety, pain, and sleep. More research is needed to know for sure.
Even though we don't know everything about weighted blankets, they seem to be safe for most people. If you're interested in trying one, talk to your doctor.
