Weighted Blankets Are Awesome!<\/strong><\/h1>\n

(and this site is all About Discovering the Healing Benefits of Weighted Therapy)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have fibromyalgia. Having an invisible illness isn’t much fun, and I’ve spent countless hours learning about natural ways to manage my condition. One of the ways I have found effective is using a weighted blanket to relax, sleep better and calm down my nervous system. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And the more I researched the more I realized that weighted blankets could have a huge impact on many different people (sick or healthy) who are looking for ways to raise their health up. Weighted blankets are not very expensive, and trying one out may just change your life \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A quick Intro to Weighted Blankets<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Why Weighted Blankets?<\/h3>\n

As adults, we are constantly bombarded with stress, as our world becomes more hectic and our days end up filled with work, errands, and all sorts of responsibilities.<\/p>\n

We learn to live with it, but of course, dealing with everything life throws at us can be quite overwhelming. <\/p>\n

But there are many things you can do to help yourself feel a little better, and I\u2019m going to talk about one that I particularly love, and you might know where I\u2019m going here\u2026a weighted blanket!<\/p>\n

Yeah. Seriously. Weighted blankets<\/a> have been known for helping children undergoing insomnia or anxiety-inducing conditions, but they can also help adults more than you’d think.<\/p>\n

I’m not saying everything I’ve written in this website just from my personal experience, but I have to let you guys know that whenever I feel tired, anxious or just plain sad, the thing that helps me the most is my weighted blanket…<\/p>\n

Actually, no. Of course it\u2019s my girlfriend, duh… But sometimes, she\u2019s not around.<\/p>\n

And I can\u2019t say the blanket makes me as happy as she does, but it definitely makes me feel comfortable and safe, and stay away from burdens, at least a little while.<\/p>\n

Researchers talk about this \u201cdeep touch stimulation therapy<\/a>\u201d-thing I keep reading about, and it\u2019s indeed amazing.<\/p>\n

If you are reading this, and are a human being, you\u2019ll most likely think that having an object that gives you such a warm hug (I\u2019m not kidding here, they feel almost unnatural) must be comforting.<\/p>\n

And it is indeed.<\/p>\n

Will a Weighted Blanket Benefit Me, As an Adult?<\/h3>\n

I know, I know, you’re asking yourself: “How do I know that this stuff can actually really help?”<\/em><\/p>\n

I asked myself the same question before trying one, and I\u2019m going to tell you the most honest answer I can, from my own experience and also what I\u2019ve read; researches from occupational therapists and reviews and opinions from people that have acquired one.<\/p>\n

The three primary reasons for which weighted therapy is well-known and why most therapists would advise on getting one, are insomnia, anxiety-inducing conditions, and autism spectrum disorders.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t suffer from any of these conditions, and are perfectly(ish) healthy, like me, you can still benefit from it; use it to feel comfortable and snuggled, some people don’t know that they would love feeling like they\u2019re sleeping inside of a permanent hug.<\/p>\n
