Wake Up Rested. Science Backs It Up.Thousands of people struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, or simply feel calm enough to wind down at night. A weighted blanket works by applying gentle, distributed pressure to the body – a technique known as Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS), or in Danish: dyb tøjstørstpressstimulering. This signals your nervous system to relax. And the research agrees. Below are some of the key studies that demonstrate the positive effects of weighted blankets.You fall asleep faster – even with ADHD
A 2010 study on the use of weighted blankets to treat sleep difficulties found the intervention to be highly effective, particularly in reducing the time it takes to fall asleep. Among children with ADHD, the results were especially striking: the 20% of participants who previously required more than 30 minutes to fall asleep dropped to 0% – meaning all children with ADHD fell asleep within 30 minutes, simply by using a weighted blanket.

A 2008 study investigated the therapeutic effects of deep tactile pressure stimulation through the use of a weighted blanket in 32 adult participants. The results showed that 63% experienced reduced anxiety while using the blanket, 33% showed lower electrodermal activity (EDA) – a physiological marker of stress – and 78% preferred the weighted blanket as their primary method of calming down.
