This product can help you fall asleep faster

Updated

If you have trouble falling asleep at night or being able to relax, it might be time to swap out your favorite blanket for a weighted option!

If you are unfamiliar with the Serenity Weighted Blanket, think of it as a heavy duvet that almost feels like a comforting hug. While that may sound strange, hugs are actually known to release relaxing hormones while also decreasing stress hormones: "these hormones are known to help reduce blood pressure, slow the heart, and provide an overwhelming feeling of relaxation."

There is nothing worse than a bad night's sleep or not even being able to drift off! Try the Serenity Weighted Blanket (in 15, 20 or 15 pounds depending on your body type) for just over $200. Shop it above!
