Swaddles For Grownups
It’s no secret that good sleep is key to good health. Still, even when we know what’s best for our bodies and bedtime, emotional or physical obstacles can sometimes prevent us from blissfully hitting the pillow.
Anxiety, stress, overthinking, and tension can contribute to insomnia and irregular sleep schedules that leave us feeling far from well-rested. If you often struggle with falling or staying asleep, consider wrapping yourself in a weighted blanket.
Current medical practices already use weight as a calming strategy; much like deep touch pressure therapy, these chunky comforters can work in the same way. The pressure encourages the release of serotonin (and its byproduct melatonin) and reduces cortisol levels, leaving you feeling calmer and more content, and less anxious and stressed. Peace of mind means more peaceful rest, right?
While revamping your bedtime routine, check out our guides to organic sheets, snuggly & sustainable pajamas, and organic mattresses.
