Alleviates Anxiety

According to Harvard Medical School research, "sleep problems affect more than 50% of adult patients with generalised anxiety disorder". Having anxiety can cause sleeping problems and make it difficult to sleep, but sleep deprivation can also trigger anxiety.

Weighted blankets can help break this poor sleep cycle by providing physiological and psychological benefits that help alleviate anxiety.

Deep Touch Pressure (DTP)

Weighted blankets provide these benefits through Deep Touch Pressure (DTP), a therapeutic method to relax the nervous system by applying evenly distributed weight over the body.

The Occupational Therapy in Mental Health Journal found one of the therapeutic benefits of DTP that is delivered through weighted blankets is a soothing, calming effect. Like a cocoon, massage or a hug, weighted blankets activate the touch sensory input by applying pressure over the body, giving the person a relaxing sense of peace and calm.

How Groundd Helps

Groundd weighted blankets use premium bamboo and cotton materials that provide the calming pressure you need while remaining breathable and comfortable throughout the night.
