With school just getting back in, it is so important for us all to sleep well. The kids need their rest to be ready to learn and as a homeschool teacher, I also need to sleep well. Over the years I have always had a difficult time falling asleep. I also find it hard to just sit and relax. Therefore, the Tranquility weighted blanket is the perfect solution for me. Now I can find relaxation and my wellness routine will be better because I will sleep better. Plus, the calming weight of my Tranquility weighted blanket will help me calm down and enhance my ability to de-stress after a rough day.
About Tranquility
Tranquility Weighted Blankets from American Textile Company are of high quality and affordable. Most noteworthy is the fact you can get one at your local Walmart or Target. These blankets which range from 6 pounds to 20 pounds help you to fall asleep faster, stay asleep, and wake up rested due to their application of deep calming pressure. They are great for those of us who cannot sleep, or have conditions such as ADHD, stress, anxiety, autism, and PTSD because they calm and comfort. They are the solution to the growing consumer interest in ways to reduce stress and anxiety as well as providing a natural solution to aid sleep.
Weighted Blanket Specifics
The Tranquility weighted blanket exclusively at Walmart has a removable cover with temperature-balancing technology that wicks moisture away to help cool. Therefore, you can use this blanket in every season. Plus, you can machine wash the cover making it very easy to clean. Inside the removable cover, there is a combination of recycled polyester fiber and glass beads. An innovative box quilt design keeps the beads in their spot, to distribute weight evenly and to avoid them clumping up in one place. Tranquility Weighted Blankets from other stores such as Target, do not have a removable cover, so spot cleaning is the recommended method of cleaning them.
Picking Your Tranquility Blanket
Tranquility weighted blankets are available nationwide, so finding yours will be simple. Just get one that is 10% of your weight. Mine is 15 lbs and I think it is perfect. My husband has a 20 lb one, which is too heavy for my taste, but it works well for him. Once you get the right one, you can use it all year long when you need to relax or sleep. They are ideal for the couch, travel, even at work to create a calm overnight or rest during the stressful day.
Stress and Lack of Sleep
There is research that shows that stress and anxiety are higher when combined with lack of sleep and daily stress from life and work. There are several good habits that can help, and when you do these with the Tranquility weighted blanket you will see your stress melt away. Here are a few healthy habits from Jenn Falik, the Tranquility Spokesperson, to try with your Tranquility Blanket:
- Create a serene area in your home to revel in peace and quiet
- Have a set time to unplug from all technology
- Read a good book
- Curl up on the couch and listen to some music.
Mom’s Thoughts
I have known for years that deep touch pressure is helpful to calm people down. This is the reason we swaddle babies tightly, and for the creation of the Thunder Jacket for dogs. The jacket hugs the dog at various pressure points and calms it during storms or other stressful events. Children who suffer from Autism have long used weighted blankets. What a great idea to open them up to all of us.
Though I may not have a condition that screams for one, I am very stressed all the time. As I am sure most moms are, after all, raising children is no small task. I worry about them and how they will turn out. My sleep is irregular because I think too much, and then I cannot settle down and find peace. When I sit on the couch I am likely to get up 7 times to go start laundry or clean something that pops into my mind. I long to be serene and gentle to my family rather than short and rushed. But, finding peace and quiet is not my forte!
Better Sleep Makes a Better Me
Yet now, I believe that with my Tranquility blanket I am many steps closer. I feel like I can let out a big sigh when under the blanket and just snuggle into the warm embrace. Due to the 15 lbs of blanket plus 20 lbs of cat and dog on me while on the couch, I am much less likely to get up to go do this or that. Not only does it help me feel calmer, but it is also a weighty reminder to stay put and relax. Until I take care of my own stress and lack of sleep, I will not be serene and gentle. With Tranquility, I am already noticing better sleep. Plus, I love to snuggle on the couch with my favorite show on TV or a good book. Warm coffee never hurts either!
