Give the gift of sleep
Help the newly-weds in your life by giving them the gift of a blanket designed with deep pressure therapy. This innovative blanket mimics the therapeutic effects of a hug by evenly applying pressure to the body’s touch receptors. This technique helps the body shift from a state of fight-or-flight to one of rest and relaxation, boosting the release of calming hormones like dopamine, melatonin, and serotonin. Deep pressure therapy has been scientifically proven to alleviate stress and improve sleep quality, making it a perfect gift for newlyweds. Simba, a leading sleep technology brand, developed this blanket in response to the growing sleep crisis. Their study revealed that stress and anxiety are the top obstacles to a good night’s sleep in the UK. Give the gift of restful sleep and reduced stress with this therapeutic blanket.
