If you struggle to get to sleep at night, or to stay asleep, it could be due to anxiety. And if you aren’t sleeping well due to anxiety, a lack of sleep can just make matters worse. The good news is, you’re definitely not alone and there may be something that can help you.

According to the Sleep Management Institute, some 30 to 50 percent of people struggle with insomnia, and the U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health report that 24 to 36 percent of those that suffer from insomnia likely have some kind of anxiety disorder.

If you’ve tried all sorts of relaxation techniques, but nothing seems to help, it might be time to give something else a try. The Gravity Blanket is a therapeutic weighted comforter that is designed to increase relaxation and reduce stress through the power of deep touch stimulation.

The blanket is a proven anxiety treatment that gently distributes deep pressure across your entire body which helps relax the nervous system by simulating the feeling of being hugged or held. This sensation increases serotonin and melatonin levels, hormones that help you sleep, and decreases cortisol levels, a stress hormone.

The Gravity Blanket’s Kickstarter page says similar blankets have been used for decades as a natural stress reliever and are well known within the medical community. Unfortunately, society hasn’t had large access to them, but they are trying to end that and make them accessible to everyone.

The blankets starting retail price is $279, but if you make a pledge to the Kickstarter campaign, you can get one for less. If you have friends that could benefit from this blanket, be sure to share this story with them. We all enjoy a good night’s sleep.
