Summary

Daytime napping enhances energy restoration, cognitive function, and memory as well as reducing fatigue and improving overall performance. Weighted blankets have been used for improving sleep quality and as a rehabilitation tool for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. It is not known, however, whether weighted blankets can improve short-duration naps like day-time napping and what is the optimal weight of those blankets for achieving the best results. The purpose of the present study is to investigate for the first time the effect of 4 different weighted blankets on sleep parameters on daytime napping.
