A well-deserved, restorative power nap can do wonders in refreshing your mind and restoring your energy for the rest of the day. But what if we told you there was a way to make your power nap even more effective? In this blog post, we'll introduce you to weighted blankets and how they can optimize your afternoon nap.
What are weighted blankets?
Weighted blankets, also called therapy blankets, are blankets that are often filled with small weights such as glass beads or plastic pellets to make them heavier, providing a type of deep pressure therapy that many people find to be a sense of security and calm.
*baenny® does not contain any glass beads or plastic pellets. We achieve the increased weight through our special processing and the knitting pattern. This makes baenny® the perfect eye-catcher for every living room or bedroom.
How can weighted blankets improve a power nap?
-
Increased melatonin production : Weighted blankets mimic a form of therapy called "deep pressure stimulation." This therapy can promote the release of serotonin in the brain, which is converted into melatonin - the hormone that regulates our sleep-wake cycle. Therefore, weighted blankets can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy more restful sleep.
-
Reduced stress and anxiety : The deep pressure stimulation of weighted blankets can also help reduce the stress hormone cortisol. This leads to a calmer state that makes it easier to focus on a power nap.
-
Improved sleep quality : Some studies have shown that weighted blankets can improve sleep quality by reducing sleep movements and increasing feelings of safety and security.
Weighted blankets are a natural, yet equally innovative tool that can help improve your power naps. Not only do they promote sleep onset and sleep quality, but they can also help reduce stress and anxiety. If you're looking for an effective way to optimize your nap time, a weighted blanket could be the solution you've been looking for!
