Weighted blankets provide a sensation known as “grounding” that applies moderate pressure to the sleepers’ body. Using a weighted blanket is thought to stimulate the production of a mood-boosting hormone (serotonin), reduce the stress hormone (cortisol), and increase levels of melatonin, the hormone that helps you sleep.
The recommended comfort level is using a blanket that weighs roughly 5%-10% of your body weight.
