A natural sleep aid that was previously unknown to the general public in Greece is the Prosleep gravity blanket. A blanket that upgrades sleep quality and helps you relieve stress, anxiety and many other ailments that you will learn about below.

If you're wondering what a gravity blanket is, then you've come to the right place.

In this article you will learn what a gravity blanket is, how it works, who it is for and why it is used. the greatest gift you could give yourself or someone who needs a more balanced life sleep and less stress.

So let's start with the basics...

What is a gravity blanket?

A gravity blanket, as its name suggests, is a blanket... with weight. Literally.

How much weight?

It weighs from 3 to 11 kilos and to calculate the ideal weight option for you, you should choose the one that weighs closest to 10% of your body weight. We have also written in more detail How to choose the ideal weight for your gravity blanket , you can read further after this article.

Although they have become particularly popular in the last 5 years, gravity blankets have been known in the medical community for several decades.

The reason is that they harness the power of "Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation" , a scientifically proven anxiety therapy used primarily to treat individuals with:

• autism
• attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• anxiety disorders and
• other sensory disorders

In recent years, however, recent research published has revealed that Deep Tactile Pressure can help a person suffering from insomnia and offers a deep and restful sleep.

Given that we are experiencing a global epidemic of sleep problems, weighted blankets have gained great popularity since they solve a generalized problem in a completely natural way.

The beneficial properties of Deep Tactile Pressure

Behind the success of the gravity blanket is Deep Tactile Pressure therapy.

Deep Tactile Pressure, although it sounds like a complex concept, it is nothing more than the application of constant and gentle pressure to the entire body.

This pressure - according to researchers at Harvard and others - causes a beneficial change in our nervous system: the transition from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic one.

What does this mean?

You will understand. right away, it's very simple.

In prehistoric times, when humans were threatened by wild animals or humans (which happened often), the sympathetic nervous system was what helped them survive.

How was this done?

The sympathetic nervous system is designed to release hormones that help the body enter a "fight or flight" state. This prepares the body to fight or run away quickly. This is why the heart rate increases, the pupils dilate, the body sweats and the digestive system stops functioning.

In short, the sympathetic nervous system puts the entire body in a state of alert and its ultimate goal is survival .

On the other hand, the parasympathetic nervous system is the exact opposite. It activates when it deems there is no danger and puts our body in a state of "rest and nourish."

Heart rate and blood pressure drop, breathing slows down, pupils constrict, and the digestive system kicks into action.

But these days something strange is happening...

The fact that we are no longer in danger from wild animals does NOT mean that our prehistoric nervous system ceases to function.

On the contrary - because it is designed that way - it intervenes even if we become stressed in a situation, but without being in obvious danger.

As you can imagine, people suffering from anxiety disorders are constantly in a state of alert and have great difficulty relaxing.

And this is where Deep Tactile Pressure therapy comes into play, helping the nervous system to switch directly from its sympathetic to its parasympathetic division.

After a few minutes of Deep Tactile Pressure, the body enters a state of complete relaxation and the mind quiets down. Heart rate drops, eyelids become heavy and the mind feels safe.

The message is clear: time to rest.

The positive effects on insomnia

According to research conducted on people suffering from chronic insomnia, using a gravity blanket for 4 weeks had the following results:

• reducing the time until they fall asleep
• longer duration of sleep during the night
• more energy during the day
• reduced symptoms of fatigue
• reduced levels of anxiety and depression

Less stress, more well-being

Another study showed that using a gravity blanket reduced blood pressure and pulse oximetry, signs that indicate low stress levels.

More specifically:

• 63% reported feeling less stressed
• 78% preferred the gravity blanket for stress relief over any other option

Increase in "good" hormones and decrease in cortisol

Many researchers believe that the constant pressure exerted by the blanket on the body helps the body naturally increase levels of serotonin, the "happiness" hormone, which improves mood and is also naturally converted into melatonin, the sleep hormone. At the same time, the increase in these hormones helps reduce cortisol, which is responsible for feelings of fear and anxiety.

The feeling of embrace that the gravity blanket has due to its weight - and therefore the effect of this feeling on the body - is an excellent way to release hormones such as serotonin and oxytocin (hormones of happiness and love), regulate cortisol levels in the body (the stress hormone) resulting in the person feeling "grounded" and relaxed.

Many users report that the gravity blanket works great when they feel nervous or insecure as it acts like a "cocoon" within which they feel safe.

So the next time you feel stressed or nervous, try using a gravity blanket to relax and reduce the intensity of these feelings.

Who is it addressed to?

The beneficial properties of Deep Tactile Pressure do not stop at insomnia, anxiety and autism but can also contribute to the treatment of other problems such as:

• Difficulty concentrating
• Depression
• Sensory Processing Disorder
• Autism
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Restless legs syndrome
• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Bad mood

and the list goes on.

This is why many people use the gravity blanket away from their bed.

The gravity blanket is 100% natural and safe to use from young children aged 3 years and older to seniors without a doctor's prescription.

It is not recommended for children under 2 years of age, while a doctor's advice is necessary for pregnant women, people with joint problems, people suffering from asthma, sleep apnea or other serious health problems.
