How do sensory sheets work?
Sensory sheets work by providing deep touch pressure stimulation, a type of therapy that has calming effects on the nervous system. They are often used for individuals with sensory processing disorders, like autism. These sheets, fitting snugly around a mattress, create a 'hug-like' sensation for the user.
The gentle, constant pressure provided by these sheets can help reduce anxiety, encourage restful sleep, and improve focus and relaxation. They essentially mimic a therapeutic technique known as deep pressure stimulation which triggers the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate some brain functions, including sleep and mood. This is how sensory sheets contribute to creating a soothing and secure environment for better sleep and relaxation.
Are sensory compression sheets safe?
Yes, sensory compression sheets are generally safe to use. They are designed to provide gentle, constant pressure, similar to a comforting hug. However, they should be used appropriately and under supervision, especially for young children or individuals with certain health conditions. It's important to ensure that the user can remove the sheet independently if they need to, for comfort and safety reasons. As with any therapeutic tool, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider or occupational therapist before introducing a sensory compression sheet, to ensure it's a suitable option for the individual's needs and abilities.
Why is compression comforting?
The comforting effect of compression comes from a therapy technique known as deep touch pressure stimulation. This technique applies gentle, even pressure across the body and can feel like a firm hug, a swaddled feeling, or a massage. When this pressure is applied to the body, it encourages the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood. The increase in serotonin not only promotes a sense of calm but also helps reduce stress and anxiety.
Furthermore, deep touch pressure also helps to decrease cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, thereby promoting feelings of relaxation. This is why many find compression, like that provided by sensory sheets, to be comforting.
