5 Ways a Weighted Blanket Can Help Your Child Sleep Better

Good quality sleep for children is about being able to fall asleep easily, staying asleep, and waking up in the morning feeling well rested.

How To Help A Child Sleep Better If you have been wondering how can I help my child sleep better, you might come across various solutions regarding their eating habits and hobbies.

A Weighted Blanket combines the sleeping experience of several blankets stacked on top of each other, but in one slim design.

It works by simulating the experience of a hug — scientifically proven method of calming our body as it triggers the release of feel-good chemicals.

Other popular questions, such as how to help autistic child sleep better, or how to help a child with adhd sleep better, can also be aided by Weighted Blankets. Here are two reviews by parents who have children with these conditions talking about the changes they noticed: Sarah “I bought this for my 8 year-old nephew who is on the spectrum and has ADHD, and I cannot overstate how much he loves it. He slept through the night (is still sleeping through the night) with it without waking up and even slept in, which is HUGE for him. His siblings were so jealous that my brother ended up getting them their own. HIGHLY recommend. I have a friend who is a psychologist who recommended these, I had been skeptical, but not anymore.” Heather “I’m in shock. Every school day morning for the past 3 years has been a battle. Crying, fighting, yelling, “I hate school!”, “I don’t want to!”, refusals to even put on clothes. Then when finally out of bed, acting as if he’s never seen socks in his life. All gone. He finally got a good nights rest!Normally my son tosses and turns, wakes up repeatedly, and complains of nightmares/vivid dreams. Suddenly at 7 years old, he had started climbing in our bed every night because he couldn’t sleep and needed us. At my wits end I ordered this blanket, overnight delivery.This morning was amazing. Not only did he sleep all night (he woke up once because he kicked off the blanket), but he woke up in the best mood I’ve ever seen. Dressed himself, even managed to button his pants for the first time ever without my help! I couldn’t believe it. Brushed his teeth with no complaints, found his own shoes, and was out the door. All the things I knew he could do but has simply been too exhausted to do, done. I’m so happy I could cry!If your child has ADHD or Autism and you’re wondering if this is worth the try, let me tell you, it is. It so very much is. Seeing them happy and functioning in the morning because they FINALLY got a good nights sleep is worth every penny.”
