Can a thick quilt really relieve insomnia?

Have you ever encountered such troubles? Covered with a thick quilt weighing more than ten kilograms, I always feel too heavy to breathe. It is warm before going to bed, but after the temperature cools down in the middle of the night, my feet will become colder and colder and wake up from the cold. And put on a warm duvet, but always feel that the quilt is too light and has no sense of wrapping, lack of security, and always feel sleepless?

The weight of the quilt should be appropriate
Many people don't have much idea about how heavy the quilt should be for sleeping. They just think that it is thick enough to keep warm and sleep at ease. But a new study published in the "Journal of Sleep Research" in the United States proves this: a quilt of a certain weight is indeed more helpful in alleviating insomnia.

According to the journal article, researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden conducted controlled experiments on insomniacs, and the results showed that people who covered thick quilts had a greater increase in melatonin concentration, which was 32% higher than those who covered light quilts. The production of melatonin can make people feel drowsy faster, fall asleep faster, and the possibility of relieving insomnia is nearly 20 times higher than that of people who sleep under a thin quilt.

Although studies have shown that covering thick quilts can help improve sleep quality, this does not mean that the heavier the quilt, the better. Overweight quilts will block blood flow throughout the body, resulting in reduced lung capacity and prone to nightmares. For middle-aged and elderly people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, there is a risk of "stroke".

In addition, an overly heavy quilt will also affect the air permeability of the quilt, and the temperature of the quilt will easily exceed the most suitable sleeping temperature for the human body, thereby speeding up the body's metabolism and sweating. If the quilt is lifted due to overheating, it is easy to cause colds. Now is a special period, it is even more important to take care of your health.
However, there are many types of quilts on the market, ranging from cheap and high-quality to full-featured, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, which often makes people dazzled when choosing, and it is really hard to know where to start. But combined with the research results to choose, considering the weight, warmth, ventilation and other aspects, the wool quilt is the winter quilt that is more suitable for people with poor sleep quality.

Improve sleep depth by 25%
The mainstream bedding products on the market include down quilts, silk quilts, cotton quilts, chemical fiber quilts, etc. Each type of quilt has its own advantages and disadvantages, but the wool quilt is an ideal winter choice that combines the advantages of various quilts. Under the same warmth effect, the wool quilt Has the following advantages:
1. Comfortable and not pressurized, and more practical
Among the mainstream quilts on the market, wool quilts are second only to duvets in terms of warmth retention. The research paper of "Journal of Textile Sciences" shows that under the same volume, wool is about 17% lighter than cotton. Therefore, under the same warmth retention effect, wool quilts will not cause oppression and difficulty turning over like traditional large quilts.

Because it is heavier than a duvet, it will not be too light and not close to the body. It can well avoid the problem of air leakage and air intake caused by not being close to the body, making the quilt warmer, just like getting into a solid embrace. In, sleep more at ease.

2. Comfortable and constant temperature, helps deep sleep
Like humans, sheep are mammals, and their body temperature is close to that of the human body. Therefore, wool fiber has natural skin-friendly properties, which can keep the quilt close to the comfortable sleeping temperature of the human body at 32.7°C. Sleep creates a more comfortable space.

△The results of the experiment initiated by the International Wool Bureau in conjunction with the University of Sydney show that even in a low temperature environment, people who use wool quilts have a 25% increase in deep sleep, their sleep time is longer, they fall asleep faster, and the frequency of waking up is significantly reduced.

3. Moisture absorption and breathability, better sleeping environment
Wool has the reputation of "breathing natural fiber", which can absorb more than 30% of its own weight of water and quickly dehumidify. Sleeping on a wool quilt, it will "breathe" by itself, making the quilt dry and comfortable but not dry. Unlike quilts, the more you sleep, the more clammy and cold, and the thicker the cover.
4. Antibacterial and dustproof, sleep healthy and at ease
Wool has strong hygroscopicity, so it will not generate static electricity due to dry air, dust and dirt are not easy to adhere, the growth environment of bacteria and mites is limited, and it is not easy to breed and reproduce, especially for children and the elderly with weak body immunity and resistance friendly.
