A small Swedish study fund evidence f increased melatnin (褪黑素) in healthy adults wh used a weighted blanket befre bed.
Fr many peple wh struggle with anxiety and pr sleep, weighted blankets are ne czy, wellness luxury well wrth the small investment. Many shppers swear by the calming benefits f weighted blankets, reprting better sleep, lwer stress and anxiety, and verall increased feelings f relaxatin.
But scientifically speaking, there aren’t many studies t cnfirm the benefits f lying under a weighted blanket. That’s why researchers frm Uppsala University in Sweden carry ut a small study t find ut whether using a weighted blanket — cmpared t using a light blanket— can actually help bst sleep-prmting chemicals. such as melatnin and xytcin.
Twenty-six yung, healthy adults participated in the study.

Researchers cllected saliva (唾液) samples during the pre-sleep hur t measure changes in melatnin and ther hrmne (荷尔蒙) materials. In stage tw, participants were cvered with a light blanket (2.4 percent f their bdy weight) fr the night.
In the end, the results fund that when participants laid under a weighted blanket fr an hur befre bedtime, they shwed abut a 32 percent increase in salivary melatnin cmpared t when they used the lighter blanket.
“Our study is the first t suggest that using a weighted blanket may result in a mre significant release f melatnin at bedtime,” the study says, adding that mre studies are needed t find whether mre melatnin will be prduced during a whle night’s sleep when frequently using a weighted blanket ver weeks t mnths.
While this study is quite small and just a first step explring the health benefits f weighted blankets, it des suggest that this czy blanket may indeed psitively prmte sleep.
