How a weighted blanket can help your child calm down and fall asleep more easily
By: Anders T. Mogensen - May 21, 2022 - Forældrehulen
I love my son, and I would do anything for him, but lately... there have been major challenges.
Every single night, the house turns into a nightmare.
Imagine this every single night:
Crying, sobbing, tears, confusion every single hour, and no one can sleep for the next 45 minutes...
Pure chaos.
My son has had trouble falling asleep for some time now. And it's only getting worse and worse.
I know it's not my son's fault, and I don't blame him, because apparently thousands of children in Denmark have the same experience when it's bedtime.
And if they are like my son, who suffers from anxiety, it can seem almost impossible to get even one night without all that chaos.
Advice that changed my life
Recently, his school teacher became aware of the situation when she noticed that he was extra tired at school, and she asked us if we had tried "deep pressure stimulation".
It was the first time I had heard about anything like that, and to be honest, I was a little skeptical.
What she actually meant by deep pressure stimulation was if we had tried using a weighted blanket.
"How can a blanket help my son? He already has one"... was my first thought.
But since I'll do anything for my son, I bought the Scandinavian Weighted Blanket for children, which I read was the most popular weighted blanket in Denmark.
This blanket had hundreds of positive reviews on both their website and their Trustpilot. I was incredibly fascinated by how other parents actually used weighted blankets to solve the problem I had with my son.
I truly hoped that the blanket could miraculously work for my son as well...
How does it work?
The extra weight mimics the feeling of a hug, and it is proven to:
1. Help you relax and reduce stress
2. Help you fall asleep faster
3. Help you sleep through the entire night
Basically, my son no longer struggles to fall asleep. He doesn't wake up during the night, and on top of that, he doesn't even toss and turn during the night.
And it even helps after school, during the day!
My son calls it his "special blanket" and always has it over him when he needs to relax. It calms him down and helps him settle after school.
The blanket is:
- Therapeutic - so it helps with sleep, anxiety, and awakenings
- Hypoallergenic - it is safe for those with allergies
- Made of premium bamboo fabric which is incredibly soft and cozy
- Filled with silent and environmentally friendly glass beads - which won't wake your child at night (some blankets can be quite noisy)
It also comes in different weights for adults, so I'm definitely ordering one for myself soon.
If your child has trouble falling asleep, can't relax, or has any form of anxiety, I couldn't think of a better, more natural, and simple solution that can truly make your everyday life easier.
