The seratonin will then naturally be turned to melatonin, your body's natural relaxer!

With the help of our weighted blankets and lap pads these symptoms are easily subsided by a calming and comforting feeling. Have you ever had a stressful day at work, just to head home and hit rush hour traffic while low on gas? These are the feelings which someone with these disorders frequently feel throughout the day.

**The science**
Weighted materials such as blankets and lap pads add pressure to joints, ligaments, and muscles to give the cental nervous system a better sense of movement, touch, and position of the body. These are known as proprioceptive inputs. These inputs help calm your nerves. Your body ends up relaxed, your mood is boosted. Imagine coming home from that stressful day at work or school isn't going to turn into another restless night! The weighted product you purchased will be there for a safe and effective treatment. With NO side effects. That feeling of joy is what MoonLit Dreams strives to provide!! Our products are made with a soft outer material of your choice to provide a cozy and warm feel. The outside edge is double stitched for absolute durability. Then pockets are added and filled with poly pellets so the weight is evenly distributed over the body. Each pocket is ensured to be fully closed so the beads stay where they are supposed to. Weighted blankets and lap pads can be used in schools, homes, doctor offices, work settings, and even in the car or on a plane to offer that comforting feeling anywhere. Our blankets and lap pads fold easily to fit into a backpack or traveling case to be used on the go. Moonlit Dreams will make your blanket custom to your needs and desires. You choose the type of material, size and design/color of your blanket or other weighted product and we will ship it to you anywhere.
