For many suffering from sleep disorders like insomnia, a weighted blanket has proven helpful. In fact, some studies have indicated that weighted blankets can decrease insomnia severity.
"Results of the randomized, controlled study show that participants using the weighted blanket for four weeks reported significantly reduced insomnia severity, better sleep maintenance, a higher daytime activity level, and reduced symptoms of fatigue, depression, and anxiety"
The study determined that weighted blankets may indeed be an effective tool for combating insomnia. This was due to the stimulating nature of weighted blankets that help people feel calm and relaxed, similar to the feeling of having a massage. This calming effect helps people fall asleep.
“I was surprised by the large effect size on insomnia by the weighted blanket and pleased by the reduction of levels of both anxiety and depression,” Dr. Mats Adler, the principal investigator said of the study.
Around 60% of participants had a positive response to using the weighted blanket with a decrease of 50% or more in their Insomnia Severity Index score, and around 42% had a score of seven or less (the score for remission).
If the study shows anything, it’s that a weighted blanket has the ability to help a fair amount of people improve their sleep and quite possibly put their insomnia into remission.
We suggest you give a weighted blanket a try. Most weighted blankets come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. So if the weighted blanket doesn’t work for you, you can easily send it back.
