Weighted Blanket Rest

Environmental & Sensory Regulation

20-45 Minutes

Wrapping up in a heavy or weighted blanket without looking at a screen to soothe an overstimulated nervous system.

1. Clear your bed or a comfortable couch of excess clutter.

2. Put away all digital devices and turn off nearby screens.

3. Lay down and pull the weighted blanket evenly over your entire body.

4. Ensure the weight is distributed comfortably across your torso and legs.

5. Close your eyes and feel the grounding pressure anchor you to the surface.
