Tired from a bad night’s sleep? Looking for a normal, non-drug treatment for insomnia, anxiety, stress, ADHD, or autism? The cure can come in the form of a weighted blanket and you need to add this essential product to your household items.

These blankets have the fullness to release melatonin, a hormone that encourages sleep and the sleep cycle. The hormone is associated with the serotonin production, so the pressure that activates the chemical will also increase melatonin
