what is the science behind weighted blankets and how do they reduce anxiety?
In: Other
Hugs increase happy chemicals in the brain. Weighted blankets feel like a hug. Even pressure keeps people grounded, and makes them feel safe. Also you move around less at night under weight, so you fall asleep faster. (For people who toss and turn and can’t fall asleep quickly due to their brain getting alertness jolts every time they turn, less effective for non-anxious people.)
