Research shows that the use of weighted blankets minimizes students' need to move and fidget, by providing them with a calm state. Weighted blankets melt away your anxiety by giving students a true grounded state that helps to calm them down, most commonly in a just a few minutes. There are quite a few studies that show that using weighted blankets in the classroom helps improve children’s performance. One study found that children with ADHD improved their in-seat behavior, attention, and task completion while wearing a weighted vest. One of the common ways to help alleviate OCD anxiety is to improve serotonin production through pharmaceuticals. However, since weighted blankets have been shown to improve serotonin production, they can be used to help alleviate OCD anxiety as well. There are a lot of disorders that are related to low serotonin in which a weighted blanket could be useful, including depression, aggression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder.
