The so-called attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder encompasses many different clinical pictures and symptoms, which primarily develop in childhood and are neurally explainable and often hereditary.

Concentration difficulties and inattention frequently occur, affecting social behavior at school and in daily life. Especially with a hyperactive and impulsive manifestation of this disorder, children struggle to focus on a single activity. This impulsiveness, combined with co-occurring conditions such as insomnia or anxiety disorders, leads to overstimulation and exhaustion.

Children suffering from ADHD are already exposed to stress in many situations: academic performance suffers, social contacts are limited, and the body gets little rest. Besides numerous treatment options, such as therapies or medications, there is a natural way to at least improve sleep and thereby automatically other factors in the child's life. By using a weighted blanket, the quality of sleep can be increased, which in turn has a positive effect on coping with daily life.
