5 reasons why all 100,000+ people finally sleep better by Lotgenootje
Discover how these 2kg weighted cuddly toys can instantly help you find deep rest
1. From 'on' to 'off': Give your body the signal that the day is over
If you've had a busy day with lots of stimuli, your body often remains on edge in the evening. Your parasympathetic nervous system (the part of your body that promotes calmness) doesn't wake up naturally, meaning you don't truly relax. You might be in bed, but your system is still fully activated.
Through Deep Pressure Stimulation (the soothing weight) of a support person, you help your body hit the pause button. The weight on your chest or abdomen lowers your heart rate and calms your breathing. You no longer have to fight the anxiety; you simply sink into a deep rest.
"I could never lie still in bed. Since I have my Lotgenootje, I feel the restlessness disappear from my body within a few minutes. For me, it's the sign that I can go to sleep.
2. The natural 'sleep trigger': Produce the right sleep substances faster
Falling asleep truly well is thanks to a clever process in your own mind. To trigger the production of melatonin (your natural sleep hormone), you first have to stop the production of cortisol (your stress hormone). If your mind is still too full, this simply doesn't happen.
The gentle pressure of 2kg instantly reduces your stress. This gives your body the space to produce the hormones that help you fall asleep more easily. It's a safe way to get your body back into a good state every night.
"I no longer wanted to use pills or tea to calm down. This feels much more natural. The weight makes me feel heavy, which automatically quiets my mind."
3. Stop turning in bed: Sleep soundly all night long
Waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep is often because you're not reaching deep enough REM sleep (the period when you dream and truly rest). You're sleeping too lightly, so even the slightest noise instantly wakes you up.
A Lotgenootje acts as a kind of soft anchor. Their weight helps you lie still and turn less in your sleep. This helps you stay in deep sleep longer, which is crucial for waking up feeling refreshed the next morning.
"I just kept tossing and turning and woke up every night around 3 a.m. The weight of the cuddly toy helps me stay much calmer. It feels very safe, so I'm finally sleeping through the night again."
4. The pressure, not the heat: Weight loss without the feeling of constriction
Many people try a weighted blanket, but find it far too warm or uncomfortable. A Lotgenootje does exactly the same, but with localized weighting (pressure on one spot).
You place the stuffed animal exactly where you like it, for example, on your chest to relieve anxiety or against your stomach for a sense of security. You'll feel the pressure, but your entire bed won't be covered in a heavy blanket. This way, you won't get too warm and you can still move freely.
"I found a blanket much too heavy on my legs, but I missed the pressure on my chest. This is the perfect solution. It's wonderfully soft and just heavy enough to calm me down."
