Acting much like a tight hug, this blanket will help you calm down and relax, guaranteeing a good night's sleep. The blanket is packed with tiny, hypo-allergenic, environmentally friendly glass beads measuring 0.9-1.1mm in diameter. The resulting delicate yet firm pressure reaches the deep-seated receptors and helps with the release of serotonin and endorphins, chemicals that your body naturally produces to make you feel calm and relaxed. This all makes the blanket the perfect sleeping companion for people suffering from insomnia or for people with sensory integration and psychomotor disorders such as autism and ADHD. It is approximately 10% of your body weight.
