Weighted blankets or sleep sacks provide gentle, even pressure across your body—like a cozy hug—which can help calm your nervous system and support deeper, more restful sleep.
🛏️ How to Do It
-
Choose a weighted blanket that’s about 10% of your body weight (ask a parent to help).
-
Use it during bedtime or naps to help you relax.
-
You can also try a snug sleep sack if you prefer a wrapped, cocoon-like feeling.
-
Make it part of your bedtime routine – read a book, listen to calm music, and tuck in.
