Weighted Blanket: Sleep Support
A weighted blanket is a simple yet effective tool for promoting better sleep, relaxation, and focus, making it a great addition to an ADHD-friendly routine. Designed to provide gentle, evenly distributed pressure, a weighted blanket creates a calming effect that can help reduce restlessness, nighttime tossing and turning, and sensory overload. Often described as feeling like a soothing hug, this deep-pressure stimulation can support better sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and improved focus for individuals with ADHD, sensory sensitivities, and sleep difficulties.
How a Weighted Blanket Supports ADHD Management
Promotes Restful Sleep – The gentle pressure can help signal the body to relax, making it easier to fall and stay asleep, which is especially beneficial for those with ADHD-related sleep struggles.
Reduces Anxiety & Stress – The deep-touch pressure stimulation mimics a comforting embrace, which may help lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels and encourage relaxation.
Supports Focus & Calm – Weighted blankets can also be used during the day as a sensory tool for calming overstimulation, reducing fidgeting, and improving focus while working, reading, or unwinding.
Designed for Comfort & Durability – Made with all-natural materials like cotton fabric and an irritant-free filling, this blanket is gentle on the skin and ideal for those with sensitivities. The reinforced stitching and evenly distributed weight ensure lasting comfort without shifting or leaking beads.
Easy to Choose & Maintain – Select a blanket that’s about 10% of your body weight for optimal comfort. Machine washable and compatible with duvet covers to protect and extend its lifespan.
Whether you’re looking for a better night’s sleep, a calming sensory tool, or a way to ease ADHD-related restlessness, a weighted blanket is a great addition to any routine.
