Suffering from sleep problems?
Sleeping poorly. Lying awake. Not being able to fall asleep or waking up too early. For many people, this is unfortunately a daily reality. Insomnia comes in all shapes and sizes, and the causes are diverse. Whether you're suffering from sleep deprivation due to stress, sensory processing, hormonal fluctuations, or because you're pregnant and experiencing insomnia, a consistent lack of rest takes a serious toll on you, both mentally and physically.
The impact of chronic sleep deprivation
Perhaps you recognize this: you lie in bed at night, but your mind keeps racing. Or you sleep lightly and wake up constantly. As a result, you barely get the deep sleep that's so important for recovery. And if you don't get enough deep sleep, your body eventually becomes exhausted. Chronic sleep deprivation leads to difficulty concentrating, mood swings, weakened immunity, and even an increased risk of depression.
Simply put, without a good night's sleep, it's hard to feel good during the day.
Why a weighted hug works
At Lotgenootje, we understand how difficult it can be to struggle with sleep problems every day. That's why we offer weighted cuddly toys : soft, loving cuddly toys with extra weight, specially designed to provide peace and security during sleep.
The idea stems from deep pressure stimulation, a scientifically proven method in which gentle pressure on the body calms the nervous system. This leads to a lower heart rate, fewer stress hormones, and the production of serotonin and melatonin (two substances crucial for relaxation and sleep).
A weighted cuddle toy not only provides a safe and familiar feeling, but also helps put your body and mind to sleep . This is especially valuable support if you struggle with insomnia .

Who are weighted cuddly toys suitable for?
Our cuddly toys are for everyone who wants to sleep better. Think of children with sensory processing disorders, adults struggling with stress or burnout, or women experiencing insomnia during pregnancy. Especially at those moments when you need extra rest and relaxation, a weighted cuddly toy offers relief.
